Cooling system for server and server having the same
A cooling system in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention includes a chassis, a fan mounted in the chassis, a memory, and an air conducting cover, wherein the air conducting cover comprises two sidewalls mounted in the chassis, and a top wall connecting tops of the two sidewalls, the two sidewalls and the top wall cooperatively form an airflow channel, and the memory is in the airflow channel. Because the airflow channel is narrow, a more efficient airflow speed is achieved in the airflow channel. Thus, the cooling system effectively dissipates heat without encroaching on much needed space.
1. A cooling system, comprising:
a chassis comprising a plurality of vents defined in a wall thereof;
a fan mounted in the chassis;
a memory and a central processing unit (CPU) mounted in the chassis and arranged on a same straight line with the fan; and
an air conducting cover, wherein the air conducting cover comprises two sidewalls mounted in the chassis, and a top wall connecting tops of the two sidewalls, the two sidewalls and the top wall cooperatively form an airflow channel, and the memory and the CPU are received in the airflow channel, the air flow channel comprises two opposite openings, with one of the openings aligning with the fan, and the other one of the openings aligning with the vents of the chassis, an airflow generated by the fan flows into the airflow channel and through the CPU and the memory in turn, then out of the chassis via the vents.
2. The cooling system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a heat sink is placed on the CPU in the airflow channel.
3. The cooling system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the chassis comprises a bottom plate, the top wall comprises a higher first part parallel with the bottom plate, a slanting part, and a lower second part parallel with the bottom plate and offset from the first part, the slanting part slants down from an edge of the first part to an end of the second part.
4. The cooling system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a flange extends out from a bottom of each of the two sidewalls, each flange defined a through hole in an end therefore, two threaded holes are defined in the chassis corresponding to the through holes of the sidewalls, two screws are respectively extended through the through holes and then engage in the corresponding threaded holes so that the memory is defined in the airflow channel.
5. A server, comprising:
a chassis comprising a plurality of vents defined in a wall thereof;
a motherboard mounted in the chassis;
a memory mounted on the motherboard;
a central processing unit (CPU) mounted on the motherboard;
a fan mounted in the chassis adjacent the CPU and arranged on a same straight line with the memory and the CPU; and
an air conducting cover mounted in the chassis covering the memory and the CPU, wherein the air conducting cover forms an airflow channel receiving the memory and the CPU, the airflow channel comprises two opposite openings, one of the openings aligns with the fan, and the other one of the openings aligns with the vents of the chassis, the airflow channel gradually narrows from an end adjacent the fan to the opposite end adjacent the vents.
6. The server as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the air conducting cover comprises two sidewalls mounted in the chassis, and a top wall connecting tops of the two sidewalls, the two sidewalls and the top wall cooperatively form the airflow channel.
7. The server as claimed in claim 5 , wherein an airflow generated by the fan flows into the airflow channel, and through the CPU and the memory in turn, then out of the chassis from the vents.
8. The server as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the top wall comprises a first part, a slanting part, and a second part parallel offset from the first part, the slanting part slants down from an end of the first part to an end of the second part.
9. The server as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a flange extends out from a bottom of each of the two sidewalls, each flange defines a through hole in an end thereof, two threaded holes are defined in the chassis corresponding to the through holes of the sidewalls, two screws are respectively extended through the through holes and then engage in the corresponding threaded holes so that the memory and the CPU are defined in the airflow channel.
10. The server as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising a heat sink placed on the CPU.
