A cabinet for storing a plurality of rack mount computers is described. The rack mount computers respectively include a plurality of hosts each having a hard disk. The cabinet includes a plurality of drawer-shaped chassis. They are arranged side by side, for respectively contain the hosts. At least one of the rack mount computers can be pulled out by pulling out the drawer-shaped chassis containing the one of the rack mount computers. The pulled drawer-shaped chassis has an L-shaped cap on the hard disk of the host of the pulled rack mount computer.

Cabinet for storing rack mount computer

A universal backplane connection () for computer storage chassis. The overall backplane connection () has at least one universal backplane () that is connected to the SAS expander daughter board (), and to the hard disk drives (10) through its HDD (e.g. SAS) connector (). Each universal backplane board has discrete components on-board, such as resistors, capacitors, voltage regulation ICs, Light Emitted Diodes (LED), HDD connector receptacles, power connector, General Purpose Input and Output ICs and a high-speed connector. Some of the discrete components and ICs Regulate the DC current to provide a safe and stable power source to the HDDs (). The HDD connector () enable 'hot-swap' function to the HDD (), while other discrete components and amplifiers ensure data integrity of the system. LEDs provide a system status signal to the users. A high-speed connector (), e.g. SAS connector, connects the universal backplanes () to the SAS expander daughter board ()
