A pcie board with monitoring function and monitoring method thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to a PCIE board card design and a monitoring method therefor. A board card is connected with a mainboard by a connector, and the mainboard is provided with a platform control switcher and a baseboard management controller which are mutually connected; the board card comprises a plurality of PCIE slots or devices, two groups of pin headers and an IIC bus interface IO expansion chip which are arranged on the board card; one group of the pin headers is connected with the platform control switcher to implement BIOS automatic intelligent identification and self-adaption to different PCIE board cards; and the other group of the pin headers is connected with the baseboard management controller to implement BMC automatic intelligent identification on different PCIE board cards. The method realizes fault monitoring and alarm functions by comparing and analyzing data on two aspects, which comprises the consistency of a PCIE device number and the consistency of a PCIE bus bit width. The technical scheme provided by the present invention is simple and practical, and can realize a more flexible monitoring function and more accurate fault positioning capability for the board card.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The present invention relates to a PCIE board, in particular to a PCIE board with a monitoring function and a monitoring method thereof. Background technique: [0002] PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect, Peripheral Component Interconnect) Express is a processor system bus initiated and developed by Intel. , the successor of PCI Extensions), the goal is to completely replace PCI and PCI-X. With the publication of the PCI Express (PCIE for short) specification, more and more manufacturers have begun to introduce chips based on the PCIE specification and switches based on the PCIE. PCIE switches can connect many devices in a system, and communication devices based on PCIE switches (such as routers, switches, gateways, etc.) have also become an option. [0003] PCI Express Bus (PCIE) occupies an increasingly important position in the current IT technology development. Most of the CPUs now integrate the PCIE bus inside the CPU, and take the maximum ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, the monitoring technology of PCIE boards is too simple. It only relies on the information and alarms monitored by the BIOS and OS itself, which lacks flexibility, intuition, accuracy, and lacks more accurate fault location capabilities.
