Server fan control method and system based on configuration of different types of board cards

Abstract

The invention discloses a server fan control method and system based on configuration of different types of board cards and belongs to the technical field of server cooling technologies. According to the server fan control method and system based on configuration of different types of the board cards, fan control programs for configuration of different types of the board cards are integrated in a BMC, and the different fan control programs correspond to different control temperature points and fan rotation speeds; and communication connection of the BMC and a BIOS is built, related information of the board cards in the BIOS is obtained by the BMC, and the different fan control programs are automatically called according to the related information of the board cards collected by the BMC, so that different cooling control manners are enabled, and the control over the working state of a fan is completed. According to the server fan control method and system based on the configuration of different types of the board cards, the rotation speed of the fan can be optimized, the cooling performance of a server is guaranteed, the noise of the server can be lowered effectively, and the server fan control method and system have the good application and popularization value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of server heat dissipation, and specifically provides a server fan control method and system for different types of board configurations. Background technique [0002] Computers have the advantages of storing a large amount of information, and users can obtain information conveniently and quickly. They play an important role in today's society. Especially with the progress of society and economic development, the role of computers in people's lives has further increased. Compared with traditional computers, servers have better scalability, ease of use, and ease of management, and servers are more and more widely used in large enterprises. Especially with the expansion of enterprise scale and service scope, the performance requirements of the server are getting higher and higher, which leads to the gradual improvement of server specifications and the increase of the number of PCIE slots designed for the mothe...

Problems solved by technology

However, in the fan control scheme of the server in the prior art, the configuration information of the server boards is not specified, and the fan control cannot be performed according to the number and type of the boards, and the temperature of the storage boards that dissipate more heat cannot be obtained. The actual temperature is used to control the fan. In this case, in order to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the server system, the fan control needs to be designed according to the worst working condition, which will cause the fan to consume extra power during the working process and cause the noise of the server system to increase by more than 10dB.

In addition, in this case, when there is a problem with the heat dissipation of storage boards such as raid cards, the server cannot automatically increase the fan speed to avoid heat dissipation risks, and further improvement is needed to ensure the normal operation of the server
