Problems solved by technology

However, when hot-swapping a hard disk under a non-operating system, there is no prompt message, and the user cannot confirm whether the function position of the inserted hard disk is correct, whether the link of the inserted hard disk is normal, and cannot judge whether the inserted hard disk is faulty. A faulty hard disk may cause system down
Each server has a large number of hard disks. After inserting the hard disk, it is difficult to accurately determine which hard disk is connected after entering the system.
After checking the function port and pulling out the hard disk, you also need to enter the BIOS setting interface to determine which function port the hard disk is unplugging, which is troublesome.

Embodiment Construction

[0032] Specific embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the above drawings.

[0033] Depend on figure 1 As can be seen, the present invention provides a method for prompting SATA and NVMe to set in-position changes in time, comprising the following steps:

[0034] A. The motherboard is powered on, the BIOS starts to run, initializes the startup service program list, and mounts all basic service programs;

[0035] B. After the self-test of CPU, chipset and memory is completed, initialize all PCIE devices;

[0036] C. Create a periodic event service handler and start periodic execution. The execution interval can be flexibly set according to the design requirements;

[0037] D. When executing the periodic event program, first create a temporary data storage area;

[0038] E. according to the SATA controller address, read the status registers of all port connections of the controller, and store the SATA device connection status data into the tempor...

Abstract

A method, system and medium for instantly prompting in-position changes of a SATA device and a NVMe device, according to BIOS software design, a hard disk is pulled out in a shutdown state, a user can be immediately prompted after boot; When a new hard disk is connected in the shutdown state, the user can be immediately prompted after boot; In the startup process, a swappable hard disk can instantly prompt the user of determining function location information of a link, link information, and whether the link is normal, solve the technical problem that a hot-swappable hard disk has no prompt in a non-operating system environment in the prior art, instantly prompt the user of an instant insert and unplug function of a hot-swappable device, specify a coordinate pop-up window design, display basic information or error information of the device, increase a feedback mechanism of user operation results, and improve user experience.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of server storage, in particular to a method, system and medium for instantly prompting changes in position of SATA and NVMe devices. Background technique [0002] In the field of storage servers, servers are used to store large amounts of data. Each server needs to be equipped with enough hard disks to increase the total storage capacity of a single server. Dozens or dozens of hard disks are common designs, and generally adopt high-density The 2U / 4U design is designed to accommodate enough storage bays, and all PCH SATA bays can be connected, as many as 10 hard disks (currently mainstream chips support 14), and the cost is very low. For high-speed and large-capacity requirements, NVMe interface design can be used, and the number of hard disks can be designed according to needs. Currently, a single CPU supports 12, and dual-channel (2 CPUs) and quad-channel (4 CPUs) products are sufficient to meet user needs. ...
