Method of enhancing compatibility of server on hard disk and mainboard thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a method of enhancing compatibility of a server on a hard disk and a mainboard thereof. The method improves the compatibility of the mainboard on various hard discs by matching BIOS software control with hardware and controlling on-off of the hard disc and BIOS software processing. Once the hard disc has a sudden lost compatibility problem on the mainboard, the problem is solved by quickly rebooting SATA Port. If the problem is not solved, SATA Port is disenabled and then is enabled for processing to reestablish connection between a SATA controller and the hard disc; if the problem is still not solved, SATA Port on-off is controlled by GPIO and then is electrified, so that the hard disc is re-electrified to be initialized and then is connected to the SATA controller. The processing concept is suitable for various platform mainboard and has relatively high universality. The defect that the hard disc sample amount in the testing process is too small is overcome, the quality of the mainboard of the server is enhanced, and the user experience is enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of computers, and in particular relates to a method for improving the compatibility of a server with a hard disk and a motherboard thereof. Background technique [0002] Hard disks are one of the essential storage media for server systems. Almost all user data will be stored on hard disks. Therefore, stable operation of various hard disks on server motherboards is the most important basic capability. During the development process of the motherboard, the compatibility test of the motherboard to the hard disk is a very necessary step. Multi-dimensional tests are carried out on different brands, different capacities, and different types of hard disks, including hard disk transmission speed, stability, etc., and optimize the software and hardware as much as possible. To reduce the incompatibility of the hard disk on the motherboard, and enhance the compatibility of the motherboard with various types of hard dis...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although the motherboard is in the research and development stage, a lot of hard disk compatibility tests have been carried out on the motherboard, but it is still far from enough

There are many types of hard disks in the market, and the hard disks tested by R&D are only a few typical hard disks, and the sample size is too small. In fact, users may use various types of hard disks, different brands, different capacities, and different types of hard disks. Will affect the compatibility of the motherboard to it

There are many reasons for the problem, the technical capabilities of different hard disk manufacturers are uneven, the technical parameters of the hard disk itself change after a period of use, and the signal of the motherboard itself is poor
