[0003] However, in the existing technology, the number of motherboards supported by the hard disk backplane is fixed. When the number of motherboards increases or decreases, it is necessary to replace the hard disk backplane corresponding to the number of motherboards to correspond to the hard disks on the motherboard. Configuration status, and corresponding control of all hard disk indicators
In other words, users cannot flexibly map different numbers of motherboards to all hard disks and control the corresponding indicator lights through the same hard disk backplane

Embodiment Construction
[0024] Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In addition, wherever possible, elements / components / symbols with the same reference numerals are used in the drawings and embodiments to represent the same or similar parts.
[0025] Please refer to figure 1 , figure 1 It is a functional block diagram of a server system with flexible hard disk configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention. The server system 100 is provided with M hard disks HD_1-HD_M (in this embodiment, M is 12, but not limited thereto), a hard disk backplane 110 (the hard disk backplane 110 here may also be referred to as a hard disk indicator light control device) 110) and at most N motherboards MB_1˜MB_N. The server system 100 can also be connected to at least one and at most N motherboards MB_1 -MB_N (N is 4 in this embodiment, but not limited thereto) through the hard dis...

The invention relates to a server system for flexibly configuring hard disk and a control device of hard disk indicating lamps. The control device, which is used for connecting at least one motherboard, is installed on a server. The control device of hard disk indicating lamps comprises the M hard disk indicating lamps, N motherboard slots and one detecting control unit, wherein M and N are integers which are greater than one. The detecting control unit acquires a quantity (P) of motherboards according to motherboard detecting signals; the hard disk indicating lamps are divided into P groups; the j hard disk indication lamp group is controlled according to a general sequence signal of the j motherboard, wherein P is a positive integer, and j is an integer and is greater than or equal to one and less than or equal to P. In the control device, different quantities of motherboards are flexible corresponding to all hard disk indication lamps so that the general sequence signal of every motherboard is used to control the corresponding hard disk indicating lamp.
Description
technical field [0001] The invention relates to a server system supporting multiple mainboards, in particular to a server system with hard disks flexibly configured according to the number of mainboards and a hard disk indicator light control device thereof. Background technique [0002] For computer system manufacturers, especially server (server) manufacturers, often in order to meet the needs of different customers, different numbers of motherboards (motherboard) and many information storage devices (such as :hard disk). These motherboards and hard disks will share a hard disk back plane, so that each motherboard can control multiple hard disks, and use the hard disk indicator light on the hard disk backplane to display the working status of each hard disk, so as to understand Whether these hard drives are functioning properly, such as: power supply of the hard drive, read / write status, etc. In addition, the mainboard often utilizes multiple hard disks to implement a Re...
