Server equipped with touch display module and the touch display module

Abstract

A server equipped with a touch display module and the touch display module are disclosed. The server is placed in a rack enclosure and includes a rack, an information gathering unit, a rack connecting unit, and the touch display module. The rack includes a receiving slot in front side of the rack. The information gathering unit is coupled with a plurality of system components of the server and used for gathering operation information of the system components. The operation information is transmitted to the touch display module through the rack connecting unit. The touch display module slidably received in the receiving slot can be drawn out for displaying operation information. The operation information includes identification data and state data of the system components. When error information associated with the system component is identified in the received operation information, the touch display module drawn out displays an alert message related to the failed system component.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a server, in particular to a server with a touch display module. Background technique [0002] Server administrators often need to monitor and manage multiple servers in multiple cabinets, and when a server is abnormal, detect the abnormal server component to eliminate the abnormality and maintain the normal operation of the server. [0003] In order to facilitate the administrator to monitor the operating status of multiple servers, a common practice is to set a panel containing multiple lights on the surface of the server rack, and to set Corresponding lights are also set near each internal component. When an error occurs in a component in the server, the administrator opens the rack of the server and refers to one or more light-emitting lights on the panel and the position of the light-emitting lights in the server. Or the permutation and combination of the quantity to determine who the server component with the problem is ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the method of using multiple lights to compare each other to detect server errors requires the administrator to pull the server out of the cabinet, open the rack of the server, find the glowing lights, and then compare them with the lights on the panel. Yes, it is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive to use, but it is also difficult to provide managers with direct and clear information, and it is easy to increase the time required to fix server errors

In addition, the input or output device is connected externally, and the control mode is switched through the switcher, which requires additional input or output device and occupies the input or output connection port of the server.

In addition, when using an externally connected input device to manage the server, it can only monitor the current status of the server, and it is difficult to further set the operation of the hardware components in the server, which is not enough for the management and control needs of the administrator
