Heating device and method for computer system

Abstract

The present invention relates to heating device and method for computer system. The heating device includes one embedded controller and one heating and controlling unit. The embedded controller can output heating control signal before the computer system completes its boot-strap program. The heating and controlling unit heats at least one of the inside device of the computer system based on the heating and controlling enable signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a heating device and method, in particular to a heating device and method of a computer system. Background technique [0002] Computer systems must operate within a certain temperature range to ensure correct operation. However, sometimes the computer system must work in a low-temperature environment (such as military and industrial computer systems), so the internal temperature of the computer system must be kept above the minimum operating temperature. Since the internal circuits of today's computer systems generate heat during normal operation, it is usually sufficient to keep the internal temperature of the computer system above the minimum operating temperature. [0003] However, when the computer is turned on in a low-temperature environment (for example, below 0 degrees Celsius), some internal devices in the computer system may not reach the operating temperature, resulting in poor system startup or even damage to the c...

Problems solved by technology

But the problem is that before the system is turned on, the system itself does not generate heat energy. If the ambient temperature is too low at this time, the temperature of the hard disk will of course be too low. If it is turned on at this time, the risk of hard disk damage will easily occur.
