Patent attributes
A blocking device adapted in a blade server and a blade server are provided. The blade server includes a chassis and a plurality of blocking devices. The chassis includes an opening, a plurality of connecting interfaces and a plurality of convection holes. The connecting interfaces are placed in parallel to connect respective CPU blades. Each convection hole corresponds to a connecting interface. Each of the blocking devices corresponds to a convection hole and includes two blocking plates and a pushing object. The two blocking plates block the convection hole and include a hinge and a torsion spring. When a CPU blade is connected to the connecting interface, the pushing object displaces to make the two blocking plates rotate about a respective hinge to expose the convection hole. When the CPU blade is removed, the torsion springs make the two blocking plates rotate back to block the convection hole.
