机架式服务器与塔式服务器

When you are setting up a personal server for the first time or simply seeking to upgrade or update, you may wonder just what hardware components are necessary versus what is unnecessary. Consider racks for example, do you absolutely have to have a rack for your server? Today’s SuperUser Q&A post has some helpful answers to a curious reader’s question.

当您是第一次设置个人服务器或只是想进行升级或更新时，您可能会想知道到底有哪些硬件组件是必需的，而哪些是不必要的。 以机架为例，您是否一定要为服务器安装机架？ 今天的“超级用户问答”帖子为好奇的读者提供了一些有用的答案。

问题 (The Question)

SuperUser reader GoldieLocks wants to know if it is absolutely necessary to have a rack to place a replacement server in:

超级用户阅读器GoldieLocks想知道是否绝对有必要在机架中放置替换服务器：

I can get some decent deals on eBay for rack-mount servers (described as, for example, 2U rack-mount server) that I am looking at to replace my Synology NAS.

我可以在eBay上找到一些机架式服务器(例如，描述为2U机架式服务器 )的不错的交易，以替换Synology NAS。

Would I be able to just buy this 2U server and sit it under my desk somewhere, or is it a requirement that you absolutely have to have a rack to put it in?

我是否能够购买此2U服务器并将其放在我的办公桌下某处，还是您绝对必须有机架才能放入？

What does a rack give you that sitting on its own somewhere does not?

机架能为您提供什么，让它自己坐在某个地方不会呢？

Does GoldieLocks really need a rack to place a replacement server in?

GoldieLocks是否真的需要机架来放置替换服务器？

答案 (The Answer)

SuperUser contributors TheUser1024 and KlaymenDK have the answer for us. First up, TheUser1024:

超级用户贡献者TheUser1024和KlaymenDK为我们提供了答案。 首先，TheUser1024：

You do not necessarily need a rack or cabinet, but here are some points to keep in mind though:

您不一定需要机架或机柜，但是请记住以下几点：

• If you keep it under your desk, it will accumulate dust.
  如果将其放在桌子下面，将会积聚灰尘。
• The fans of such servers can be rather loud (putting it mildly)! You really do not want that near you all the time!
  这样的服务器的风扇可能会很大声(轻声地输入)！ 您真的不希望一直在您身边！
• The power consumption might be much higher than that of a SOHO NAS box.
  功耗可能比SOHO NAS盒高得多。
• Rack-mountable servers are 19 inches wide and might be twice that in length.
  可机架安装的服务器宽19英寸，长度可能是其两倍。
• If you get an old server with parallel SCSI (not SAS), you will not be able to easily put in SATA-HDDs for regular SOHO-NAS Systems.
  如果您使用的是带有并行SCSI(而非SAS)的旧服务器，则将无法轻松地将SATA-HDD插入常规的SOHO-NAS系统。
• Upgrading parts might be more difficult since they use server hardware (RAM, CPU, HDD, etc.).
  升级部件可能会更困难，因为它们使用服务器硬件(RAM，CPU，HDD等)。

A rack has the advantage that you can mount more than 10 servers in a single rack easily, and if you have them on rails, still be able to access them (slide out, open up, swap parts etc.). Also, the issues of cable management, airflow management, and power distribution come to mind.

机架的优势在于，您可以轻松地在一个机架中安装10台以上服务器，并且如果将它们安装在导轨上，仍然可以访问它们(滑出，打开，更换零件等)。 同样，电缆管理，气流管理和配电的问题也浮现在脑海。

Followed by the answer from KlaymenDK:

随后是来自KlaymenDK的答案：

If what you are looking for is a way to avoid buying an expensive rack, you might be able to make do with a (stack of) IKEA LACK tables.

如果您要寻找的是避免购买昂贵的机架的方法，则可以使用(一堆)IKEA LACK桌子来做。
