Embodiment Construction

[0019] With reference to the drawings, the present invention will be further explained through specific embodiments:

[0020] 1) Choose a suitable PowerMonitor, the model of the PowerMonitor chip selected in this embodiment is ADM1293, which is used as a slave in the I2C topology;

[0021] 2) Refer to the attached file when designing the motherboard hardware figure 1 I2C topology design circuit, and define the appropriate I2C address of PowerMonitor, in this example, define the I2C address as 0x30;

[0022] 3) In the design of the system motherboard circuit diagram, all PCIESlot's 12V power supply voltage is selected figure 1 As shown in P12V_PCIE, the 3.3V supply voltage of all PCIESlot is selected figure 1 P3V3_PCIE shown;

[0023] 4) After the system hardware system is built, BMC is designed through software programming: figure 2 The management interface shown, and the "PWR_AVG" parameter inside the ADM1293 is configured to 128, that is, the single sampling rate of power consumpti...

Abstract

The present invention provides a server system capable of monitoring power consumption of a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIE) device with high precision, relates to the fields of cloud computing and data centers. Supply voltages of PCIE slots comprise 12V and 3.3V. 12V supply currents and 3.3V supply currents flowing through all PCIE slots of the system are sensed by using precision resistors. Then, a power consumption monitoring device Power Monitor converts sensed currents and voltages into power consumption values. Finally, power consumption data is output to a baseboard management controller (BMC) of the system through an I2C bus. Then, the BMC adds the power consumption data of power supply links of 12V and 3.3V, and displays obtained total PCIE device power consumption on a Web management system interface. The real-time power consumption of all PCIE devices of the system under different pressure provides an accurate and intuitive data basis for the server operation and maintenance personnel to manually adjust the rotation speed of fans.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of cloud computing and data center, in particular to a server system with high-precision PCIE equipment power consumption monitoring. Background technique [0002] With the rise of emerging industries such as cloud computing and big data, Internet companies and cloud computing service providers are building more and more data centers, each of which has deployed or will deploy thousands of servers. The energy consumption and heat dissipation cost of the data center has gradually become one of the main costs of the above-mentioned enterprises. It is very necessary to balance the relationship between the energy consumption and heat dissipation of the server system. [0003] Therefore, for server systems, it is not only required to realize the power consumption monitoring function of the whole machine, but also to realize: separately monitor the power consumption of the main components in the system, such as: CPU, memory, hard d...
