Support tray for server
View Patent ↗A support tray for a server includes a main body defining an opening in a front end, and a first cover and a second cover with different sizes. When the first cover is mounted to the front end of the main body, a cover plate of the first cover shields the opening of the main body. Therefore, the main body and the first cover cooperatively bound a first receiving space adapted to accommodate a first computing unit. When the second cover is mounted to the front end of the main body, a cover plate of the second cover shields the opening of the main body. Therefore, the main body and the second cover cooperatively bound a second receiving space adapted to accommodate a second computing unit. The first receiving space is longer than the second receiving space.
1. A support tray for mounting either a first computing unit to a first chassis, or a second computing unit that is shorter than the first computing unit to a second chassis, the support tray comprising:
a main body defining an opening in a front end of main body, and comprising an end plate at a rear end of the main body opposite to the opening;
a first cover comprising a first blocking plate; and
a second cover comprising a second blocking plate;
wherein either the first cover or the second cover is assembled to the main body; the first blocking plate shields the opening of the main body and is spaced from the end plate of the main body in a distance greater than or equal to a length of the first computing unit, in response to the first cover being assembled to the main body; the second blocking plate shields the opening of the main body and is spaced from the end plate of the main body in a distance greater than or equal to a length of the second computing unit, but less than the length of the first computing unit, in response to the second cover being assembled to the main body;
wherein the main body further comprises a bottom plate, and two side plates extending up from opposite sides of the bottom plate in a substantially perpendicular manner, the end plate of the main body extends up from a rear end of the bottom plate and is connected between the side plates of the main body;
wherein the first cover further comprises a bottom wall extending rearwards from a bottom of the first blocking plate in a substantially perpendicular manner, and two sidewalls respectively extending up from opposite sides of the bottom wall in a substantially perpendicular manner and correspondingly connected to opposite ends of the first blocking plate;
a connection portion extends from a rear end of each of the sidewalls, and defines a fastening hole, wherein a fixing hole is defined in each of the side plates of the main body adjacent to the front end of the main body; the fixing holes of the main body correspondingly align with the fastening holes of the first cover to allow two fasteners to extend through the fixing holes and be fastened in the fastening holes, in response to the first cover being assembled to the main body;
wherein a distance between the sidewalls of the first cover is equal to a distance between the side plates of the main body.
2. The support tray of claim 1 , wherein the second cover further comprises two connection portions respectively extending rearwards from opposite ends of the second blocking plate, each of the connection portions of the second cover defines a fastening hole; wherein the fixing holes of the main body correspondingly align with the fastening holes of the second cover to allow two fasteners to extend through the fixing holes and be fastened in the fastening holes of the second cover, in response to the second cover being assembled to the main body.
