Abstract

A server cabinet, for containing a removable server including a power input port and a connecting element, includes a container, an electrically conductive component, a power supply, a signal connecting base and a rack management controller. The electrically conductive component is connected to the power input port. The power supply is connected to the electrically conductive component to supply power. The signal connecting base includes connectors connected to the connecting element. With the server removed, the power input port and the connecting element are separated from the electrically conductive component and the connector, respectively. The rack management controller is electrically connected to the signal connecting base. With the connecting element electrically connected to the connector, the rack management controller communicates with the server via the connecting element and the one connector and determines the position of the server according to the position of the connector connected to the server.
