Problems solved by technology

However, some potential problems in the server development process are often overlooked. For example, the loss of the fan, the server has been working in a high-intensity environment for a long time, and the fan loss problem will gradually disappear if the server cannot be shut down in the middle. highlighted
Although the baseboard management controller in the existing server provides the function of detecting the fan speed, it cannot detect physical changes such as the fan shaft. For example, the shaft inside the fan is affected by the interference of dust and other external factors. run

Embodiment Construction

[0013] Such as figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the operating environment of a preferred embodiment of the server fan status monitoring system of the present invention. The server fan status monitoring system 10 is applied on a server 1 , and the server 1 includes a baseboard management controller 12 (BMC, Baseboard Management Controller), a fan 14 , a system management bus 16 , and a noise sensor 18 .

[0014] The baseboard management controller 12 is a dedicated chip that supports the industry standard IPMI specification, which describes the management functions already built into the motherboard, such as: local and remote diagnostics, console support, configuration management, hardware management and troubleshooting.

[0015] The baseboard management controller 12 also includes a memory 120 , a processor 121 , a warning light 122 , and an alarm 123 .

[0016] The memory 120 is used to store the information of the noise sensor 18 (such as the address of the n...

Abstract

Provided are a server fan condition monitoring method and system. The system comprises a searching module used for searching for a noise sensor mounted on a system management bus, a reading module used for reading the decibel value of noise formed when a fan operates and obtained by the noise sensor, a comparison module used for comparing the read noise decibel value and a preset value, and a trigger module used for triggering an alarm light of a substrate management controller to be lightened when the read noise decibel value is larger than the preset value, wherein the preset value is the allowable maximum noise value obtained through testing when the fan normally operates. According to the method and system, the current condition of the fan is judged through noise generated by the fan so that the noise is handled as soon as possible to avoid unforeseen circumstances.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a server equipment monitoring method and system, in particular to a server fan state monitoring method and system. Background technique [0002] As servers are more and more used in various industries, server configurations are also becoming more sophisticated. However, some potential problems in the server development process are often overlooked. For example, the loss of the fan, the server has been working in a high-intensity environment for a long time, and the fan loss problem will gradually disappear if the server cannot be shut down in the middle. stand out. Although the baseboard management controller in the existing server provides the function of detecting the fan speed, it cannot detect physical changes such as the fan shaft. For example, the shaft inside the fan is affected by the interference of dust and other external factors. run. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of the above, it is necessa...
