a server system

Abstract

The present invention provides a server system, including at least a baseboard management controller, which has a plurality of general input and output interfaces, including a clock pulse signal port, a data input port, a data output port, and a synchronization signal port, wherein the data input port communicates with the baseboard management The controller sends detection data, and the data output port sends control signals from the baseboard management controller; and the complex programmable logic device is electrically connected to multiple general input and output interfaces for receiving detection data and control signals. By adopting the system of the present invention, the number of ports of the baseboard management controller is expanded by electrically connecting multiple general input and output interfaces with complex programmable logic devices, thereby greatly improving the monitoring capability of the baseboard management controller. In addition, based on the rewritable function of complex programmable logic devices, the user's expected requirements and system upgrades can be realized without changing the system hardware architecture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a server system, in particular to a server system including a baseboard management controller. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is generally installed on the motherboard of the server system to detect the working status of the motherboard and the server system, and can also output control commands to manage the entire chassis. [0003] In the past server systems, the baseboard management controller needs to detect fewer system signals and output control commands, which can be easily realized by relying on the general-purpose input and output ports of the baseboard management controller chipset itself. However, as the server system becomes more and more powerful, more and more system signals and control commands need to be detected and controlled by the baseboard management controller, but the general input and output ports of the baseboard management controller are ...

Problems solved by technology

However, with the increasingly powerful functions of the server system, more and more system signals and control commands need to be detected and controlled by the baseboard management controller, and the general-purpose input and output ports of the baseboard management controller are limited.
