Problems solved by technology

However, with more and more server hardware and higher performance, the structure of the server is also becoming more and more complex. The problem caused by this is that when the power supply of the server motherboard is abnormal, it takes a long time to measure the power supply points one by one. short circuit risk, which greatly affects the efficiency of server testing and debugging

Embodiment 1

[0031] attached figure 2 Shown is Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

[0032] 1. The CPLD on the main board of the server obtains important signals in the power-on sequence of the main board. These signals include the DSW_PWROK signal sent by the PCH (Platform Controller Hub, platform management center south bridge), the platform reset signal, and each VR (Voltage Regulator, voltage regulator ) Power Good signal, etc., the status of these signals will be saved in the register of CPLD.

[0033] 2. Set a set of I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit, two-wire serial bus) signals on the CPLD to the header1 on the motherboard. This header1 is in the form of 4pins, including clock lines, data lines, GND lines and power supply for the Debug card. power line.

[0034] 3. The Debug card is connected to the Debug header on the motherboard through a cable. The header2 with the same definition as header1 is set on the Debug card, and header1 and header2 are connected through a cable. The...

Embodiment 2

[0041] attached image 3 Shown is the second embodiment of the present invention. Compared with embodiment one, embodiment two is that the FPGA on the Debug board is replaced by a general decoding compiler with an I2C interface, and the nixie tube is replaced by 8 light-emitting diodes, which can reduce the cost of the board; On the other hand, changing the display unit from a 14-wire to an 8-wire connection makes compiling easier. The 8 light-emitting diodes can be read by 8421 codes, and the effect is the same as that of the digital tube, but it needs to be read by 8421 codes. For example, the light on means 1, the light off means 0, and the states of the 8 lights are off, off, off, off, on, off, on, off, on, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off, 0000, 0101, 8421 The reading is 05, and it can be judged from Table 1 that the corresponding P3V3_PG has question...

example 2

[0042] The entire working process of the second example is the same as that of the first example.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for debugging a server power supply through a Debug card. The method comprises the steps that the motherboard of a server is connected with the Debug card, and a CPLDon the motherboard receives each important signal in an electrical sequence; an FPGA on the Debug card acquires state information in the CPLD through an I2C signal and decodes and compiles the acquired information; and finally the power supply state information of the motherboard is displayed through an external display device connected with the FPGA. The FPGA can be replaced with a decoding compiler with an I2C interface. Through the Debug debugging card, a failed power supply can be quickly and conveniently located, and the debugging efficiency is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of server power supply testing, in particular to a method for debugging server power supply through a Debug card. Background technique [0002] Most of the early servers have one or two CPUs (Central Processing Unit, central processing unit), which can perform fewer functions, so the power supply on the server motherboard is also relatively small. When an abnormal power supply occurs on the server motherboard, you can use a multimeter Measure one by one to find out which power supply point has the problem. However, with more and more server hardware and higher performance, the structure of the server is also becoming more and more complex. The problem caused by this is that when the power supply of the server motherboard is abnormal, it takes a long time to measure the power supply points one by one. Short circuit risk, which greatly affects the efficiency of server testing and debugging. [0003] In view of the ab...
