The invention provides a cold storage server hard disk extending design method, and belongs to the field of universal servers. The cold storage server hard disk extending design method comprises the design steps of 1, designing a cold storage server PCIE distribution architecture, and achieving support of BMC, PCIE x8 Slot, OCP connector, NVME SSDx2 and multiple SATAs; 2, designing a cold storage server hard disk extending architecture, introducing a PCIE expanding SATA chip, and achieving expanding design of 19 SATA hard disks and 2 NVME hard disks; 3, designing a cold storage server hard disk management architecture, collecting SATA status information through a CPLD to achieve hard disk status indication, and communicating the CPLD with a BMC to perform hard disk management. According to the cold storage server hard disk extending design method, the cold storage server system storage capacity is increased, the management function is introduced, and system maintenance is facilitated.
