Problems solved by technology

[0002] A general server includes multiple firmwares (Firmware), such as Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). The firmware needs to be initialized when the server is turned on. , the firmware initialization takes more time. The existing server has a time reference value. When the server is plugged in, the server starts to count. The signal is sent to the power supply of the server for power supply and start up, so that if the firmware is not initialized, the server will also be turned on, which will cause the user to be unable to determine whether the server is working normally. In addition, if the firmware initialization takes less than the time reference value, this will cause cause boot delay

Abstract

The invention provides a startup control device and a startup control method. The startup control device is applied to a server, and comprises a startup switch, an ACPI (advanced configuration and power interface) controller, a firmware and a control chip, wherein the control chip comprises a filter module, a detection module and a control module; the filter module is used for filtering a triggering signal of the startup switch after receiving the triggering signal; the firmware is used for sending a complete signal to the detection module when an initialization operation is completed; the detection module is used for judging whether the complete signal of the firmware is received, if so, sending the triggering signal to the ACPI controller; the ACPI controller is used for sending a startup signal to the control module after judging that the triggering signal is used for starting; and the control module is used for sending the startup signal to a power supply so as to supply power for the server. By using the device and method provided by the invention, a startup process of the server is optimized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a start-up control device, in particular to a start-up control device for a server. Background technique [0002] A general server includes multiple firmwares (Firmware), such as Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). The firmware needs to be initialized when the server is turned on. , the firmware initialization takes more time. The existing server has a time reference value. When the server is plugged in, the server starts timing. The signal is sent to the power supply of the server for power supply and start up, so that if the firmware is not initialized, the server will also be turned on, which will cause the user to be unable to determine whether the server is working normally. In addition, if the firmware initialization takes less than the time reference value, this will cause cause startup delays. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a boot control device and method capa...
