Embodiment Construction

[0025] see Figure 1A , is a block diagram of the server system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The server system 1 includes: a plurality of motherboards 10 , a baseboard management controller 12 and a network interface controller 14 . exist Figure 1A In, four motherboards 10 are depicted, in other embodiments, different numbers of motherboards may be implemented.

[0026] The motherboard 10 respectively includes: a basic input / output system 100 , a programmable chip module 102 , a first temporary storage memory 104 and a south bridge chip 106 . The BIOS 100 is an extremely important module that enables the motherboard 10 to start functioning. The four motherboards 10 are independent of each other during operation. When the motherboard 10 is turned on, each hardware device is initialized according to the settings of the BIOS 100 of each motherboard 10 , so that each hardware device can be operated after the operating system starts running. Among them...

Abstract

The invention relates to a server system, which comprises a plurality of mainboards, a baseboard management controller and a network interface controller, wherein the mainboards respectively comprise at least one basic input / output system, a programmable chip module, a first temporary storage and a South-Bridge chip. The network interface controller is connected with the baseboard management controller and is connected to a network. The baseboard management controller receives remote updated data and an updating instruction through the network interface controller from the network and transmits the remote updated data to one of the programmable chip modules of the mainboards according to the updating instruction, and the remote updated data are stored in the first temporary storage. The baseboard management controller further transmits the updating instruction to the programmable chip module, so that the remote updated data in the first temporary storage are updated to the basic input / output system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a computer system, and in particular to a server system. Background technique [0002] The server is an important foundation of the network architecture. Generally, in a server, a basic input / output system (Basic Input / Output System; BIOS) is an extremely important module. When starting up, each hardware device needs to be initialized according to the settings of the basic input / output system, so that the operating system can operate each hardware device after it starts running. [0003] Among them, the basic input / output system will have different versions of content under the development of the manufacturer, and the user can choose whether to update or not. There are generally two ways to update the basic input / output system: local update and online update. The local update method generally stores the update data in a storage device such as a U disk, and reads the update data from the storage device and updates to ...
