Embodiment 1

[0033] This embodiment provides a hard disk back panel light control device, such as figure 1 As shown, includes the following structure:

[0034] The VPP signal of the CPU is connected to the MUX chip (multiplexing chip) and divided into two channels. The select control pin of the MUX depends on the shape of the connected NVME hard disk. If it is a x4 NVME hard disk, the select pin is switched to A1, and then connected to On the A0 pin of the CPLD on the backplane, the traditional backplane solution is used to analyze the VPP for lighting.

[0035] If the hard disk backplane is connected to x2 NVME hard disk, then after the backplane CPLD detects the status of the hard disk, it controls the select pin of the MUX to switch the VPP signal to A2. Then through the I2C switch, switch to two routes to the A1 and A2 pins of the backplane CPLD.

[0036] The 4x16port of the CPU can support a maximum of 32 x2 NVME hard disks. VPP0 can support 0-15 NVME hard disks, and VPP1 can suppor...

Embodiment 2

[0039] This embodiment provides a hard disk backplane light control method, including the following steps:

[0040] S1. The BMC recognizes the PCIE port number to which the CPU is currently connected through the plug connector.

[0041] S2. The BMC sends the port number to the control chip through I2C.

[0042] S3. The control chip analyzes the port number, and selects the hard disk light control signal access link according to the port number:

[0043] If the port number corresponds to a x4 NVME hard disk, then control the multiplexing chip to switch to the first pin;

[0044]If the port number corresponds to the x2 NVME hard disk, then control the multiplexing chip to switch to the second pin.

Abstract

The invention provides a hard disk backboard lamp control device and method, and the device comprises a multiplexing chip, an input interface of the multiplexing chip is connected with a CPU, and a first pin of the multiplexing chip is connected with a first signal port of a control chip; a second pin of the multiplexing chip is connected with a signal converter, a first output pin of the signal converter is connected with a second signal port of the control chip, and a second output pin of the signal converter is connected with a third signal port of the control chip; the control chip is connected with a control pin of the multiplexing chip; and the control chip is connected with the BMC. By modifying a hardware circuit, the requirement that the server is compatible with x2NVME hard disk lighting is met, and the defects of an existing scheme are overcome. Therefore, the operation efficiency of the server is greatly improved, the cost optimization is realized, diversified product requirements of customers can be met, and the competitiveness of products is further improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of servers, and in particular relates to a hard disk backboard light control device and method. Background technique [0002] At present, with the maturity of big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other technologies and their applications in various industries, in the era of artificial intelligence, the emerging term server also frequently appears in people's sight. Some people predict that in the era of artificial intelligence, Servers will be widely used in various industries. We all know that ordinary servers use CPU as the provider of computing power, adopt a serial architecture, and are good at logical calculations and floating-point calculations. Because a large number of branch jumps are required for logical judgment, the structure of the CPU is complicated, and the improvement of computing power is mainly achieved by stacking more cores. [0003] However, in the application of netw...
