A Test System for Hard Disk Power Consumption

Abstract

The invention provides a test system for power consumption of a hard disk. The test system comprises a hard disk and a power consumption detection board card, and the hard disk is electrically connected with a power consumption detection board card. The power consumption detection board card comprises a board card body, a power connector, a precision resistor, a hard disk connector, a power consumption detection module and a control module, wherein the power connector, the precision resistor, the hard disk connector, the power consumption detection module and the control module are arranged on the board card body; the power connector is electrically connected with the precision resistor, and the precision resistor is electrically connected with the hard disk connector so that power can be supplied to the hard disk; the power consumption detection module is electrically connected with the precision resistor so that power consumption of the hard disk can be monitored; the control module is electrically connected with the power consumption detection module so that the power consumption data of the hard disk can be output. By means of the test system, the power consumption of the hard disk can be accurately test in real time, the power consumption data of the hard disk can be output so that the power consumption data can be displayed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a test system for hard disk power consumption. Background technique [0002] With the rise of technologies such as the Internet, cloud computing, and big data, data centers have become a strategic infrastructure, and a wave of data center construction has set off worldwide. While building a data center, its energy consumption problem has attracted more and more attention from the industry, and building a safe, intelligent, and green data center has become the general trend. [0003] Data center energy consumption mainly comes from IT (Information Technology, information technology) equipment, lighting system, air conditioning system, power supply and distribution system, etc., and the power generated by the IT equipment system composed of servers, storage systems and network communication equipment, etc. The power consumption accounts for about 45% of the total power consumpti...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Data center energy consumption mainly comes from IT (Information Technology, information technology) equipment, lighting system, air conditioning system, power supply and distribution system, etc., and the power generated by the IT equipment system composed of servers, storage systems and network communication equipment, etc. The power consumption accounts for about 45% of the total power consumption of the data center, among which, the server system accounts for about 50%, the storage system accounts for about 35%, and the network communication equipment accounts for about 15%. At the same time, 90% of the energy of the storage system is to power the hard disk Therefore, how to accurately and clearly test the power consumption of the hard disk is an urgent problem to be solved. However, the current server system mainly uses the following two methods to detect the power consumption of the hard disk. The power consumption of the hard disk is estimated from the side; the power consumption of the hard disk is obtained by monitoring the current of some power supplies. However, the above two solutions cannot objectively and accurately reflect the power consumption of the hard disk
