Embodiment 1

[0020] as attached figure 1 As shown, a method of online testing NCSI adapter card functional integrity of the present embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0021] S10: Prepare test tools, NCSI external network card, ensure that the NCSI external network card is working normally, main board, ensure that the NCSI signal function of the main board is normal, insert the NCSI adapter card together with the NCSI external network card into the main board, connect the network cable to the network card, and ensure that the network cable is normal Connect to the DHCP server.

[0022] S11: Select the NCSI function as an external network card, turn on the main board, enter the OS, execute this test tool, send an IPMI command, adjust the NCSI network card gating function from the onboard network card to an external network card, and send an IPMI command to restart the BMC to enable The NCSI function is enabled for external network cards.

[0023] S12: Test the network connectivity...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of computer board card development testing, in particular to a method for on-line testing the functional completeness of an NCSI (Network Connectivity Status Indicator) adapter card. The method comprises the following steps of A, preparing a test tool, externally inserting a PCIE (Peripheral Component Interface Express) network card for the NCSI, ensuring the NCSI externally inserted network card to work normally, ensuring a mainboard NCSI signal function to be normal, inserting the NCSI adopter card and the NCSI externally inserted network card into a mainboard, connecting a network cable onto the network card, and ensuring the network cable to be normally communicated to a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server; B, gating an NCSI function as the externally inserted network card; C, testing the network connectivity of the NCSI network car; D, gating the NCSI function as a default onboard network card. The method for on-line testing the functional completeness of the NCSI adapter card can fully verify the functional completeness of the NCSI adapter card, effectively solves the problem of difficult function verification of the NCSI adapter card, quickly completes on-line verification of the function of the NCSI adapter card, is simple to operate and high in efficiency, and has higher application value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer board development and testing, in particular to a method for on-line testing the functional integrity of an NCSI adapter card. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of IT technology, people have higher and higher requirements for server management technology, among which reliability and stability are a very important indicator requirement. At present, a conventional method is to use the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, Baseboard Management Controller) chip to connect to the network card chip on the server motherboard through the NCSI (Network Controller Sideband Interface, Network Controller Sideband Interface) signal bus, and share the network card chip of the server. The network port sends or receives the monitoring information of the server. But the characteristic of this design method is that one BMC chip is only connected to one network card chip. Once there is a pro...
