Embodiment 1

[0020] The onboard BMC management module is integrated in the motherboard of the system, and an I2C link for communication with the backplane is reserved; the hard disk is connected to the mainboard and front-end controller through the hard disk backplane, and an I2C interface is added on the hard disk backplane. On the one hand, the board uses the hard disk status indicator to display the hard disk status information in real time locally. On the other hand, the BMC management module of the main board reads the status information of the hard disk in the hard disk backplane through the I2C link, and transmits the obtained status information to the remote terminal interface. and display it. In the remote interface, the existence, error, and positioning of the hard disk in the hard disk backplane can be obtained in real time, so that maintenance personnel can obtain the working status of the hard disk without entering the server room.

Embodiment 2

[0022] The onboard BMC management module is integrated in the mainboard of the system, and an I2C link for communication with the backplane is reserved; the hard disk is connected to the mainboard and the front-end controller through the hard disk backplane, and an I2C Expander module is set between the hard disk and the mainboard. The status information in the hard disk backplane is connected to the IO interface of the I2C Expander, and an I2C interface is added to the hard disk backplane. On the one hand, the hard disk backplane uses the hard disk status indicator to display the hard disk status information in real time. The management module reads the status information of the hard disk in the hard disk backplane through the I2C link, and transmits the obtained status information to the remote terminal interface and displays it. In the remote interface, the existence, error, and positioning of the hard disk in the hard disk backplane can be obtained in real time, so that mai...

Abstract

The invention discloses a remote monitoring method for implementing hard disk back broad, and belongs to the field of computer electronic equipment. An on-board BMC (Baseboard management controller) management model in the mainboard of system is integrated, and I2C link with backboard communication of is reservation; the hard disk is connected with mainboard and front controller by hard disk backboard, and new I2C interface is increased in hard disk backboard. On the one hand the hard disk backboard shows the status information of hard disk on real time by the Status Indicator of local used hard disk, on the other hand the BMC (Baseboard management controller) management module of main broad read the status information of hard disk in the hard disk backboard by the I2C link, transmitting state information acquired to the remote terminal surface and showing the information. The Remote monitoring?method for hard disk?back?state is realized by the invention, to let maintainer obtain work state of the hard disk without accessing the server room, to maintain hard disk conveniently, to guarantee normal operation of the machine, to improved work efficiency, and to reduce labor intensity of workers.

Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The invention relates to the field of computer electronic equipment, in particular to a method for realizing remote monitoring of the state of a hard disk backplane. Background technique [0003] BMC (Baseboard Management Controller baseboard management controller) will periodically poll the digital sensor to monitor the system working status, and communicate with the host through the SMBus interface, and also provide a system for local system management, 'pushing' warning and access Interface to non-volatile memory. 'Push' alerts are used to send LAN alerts from the host to remote endpoints to notify the BIOS or operating system of any events generated. For example, emergency BIOS POST codes can be redirected from a typical 0x80 I / O port to a remote terminal over a LAN. In addition to the basic IPMI function and system work monitoring function, mBMC can also realize the selection and protection of BIOS fast components by using one of the t...
