Abstract

The invention discloses a fault display method and device of a server. The fault display method comprises steps that a basic management controller controls a fault indication unit of a diagnosis panel to display fault type information of server system fault points; the basic management controller controls a nixie tube of the diagnosis panel to display fault position information of the fault points or display the fault position information and fault code information of the fault points sequentially and separately. Therefore, when the server has the fault points, the diagnosis panel is controlled to automatically display fault types and fault positions or the fault positions and fault codes of the fault points.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of servers, in particular to a server fault display method and device. Background technique

[0002] Optical diagnostic panels are more and more widely used in the field of high-end servers, and as customers have higher and higher requirements for Total Cost of Ownership (TCO, Total Cost of Ownership) indicators, low-cost, multi-functional, high-reliability optical diagnostic panels Panels play a vital role in enhancing the competitiveness of server suppliers' high-performance server products.

[0003] At present, there are mainly two types of optical diagnostic panels for diagnostic servers in the industry. One is the optical diagnostic panel provided by IBM. Its main components include LED lights, digital tubes, and reset buttons. The reset button on the switch displays different fault points; the other is the optical diagnostic panel provided by DELL, which has a scrolling display on the optical diagnost...

Embodiment Construction

[0032] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] refer to figure 1 , figure 1 It is a flowchart of an embodiment of the fault display method of the server of the present invention, including:

[0034] Step S101: The basic management controller controls the fault indication unit of the diagnosis panel to display the fault type information of the fault point of the server system.

[0035] The main function of the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is to automatically monitor platform system management events and record the events that occur in the non-volatile system event log. The types of events recorded by the BMC include temperature exceeding the standard, voltage exceeding the standard, fan failure, and chassis intrusion. During monitoring, the BMC manages a non-volatile sensor data record repository from which system runtime information can be retrieved.

[0036] The diagnosis pane...
