Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer technology, and more specifically to a hard disk lighting mode configuration method, system, device, and readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] When a server is paired with a hard drive backplane, the upstream SATA / SAS signals from the backplane may originate from the motherboard, HBA card, RAID card, or the backplane itself. Current technology typically incorporates a DIP switch on the backplane to inform the CPLD (Content Controller Platform) that it needs to adapt to the specific backplane. However, because the CPLD needs to know the source of the upstream SATA / SAS signals to establish the appropriate LED pattern for the backplane, mass production requires manual identification of the configured LED pattern and manual operation of the DIP switch. This wastes manpower and reduces production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a hard disk lighting mode configuration method, system, device, and readable storage medium, which can automatically establish a lighting mode for the hard disk backplane CPLD based on the classification of part numbers in the bill of materials, effectively accelerating production efficiency.

[0015] Read the LED mode data from the FRU on the hard drive backplane using a CPLD;

[0016] Establish the lighting pattern for the hard drive backplane based on the lighting pattern data.

[0017] Furthermore, the hard drive to be configured is a SAS hard drive, a SATA hard drive, or an NVME hard drive.

[0018] Accordingly, the present invention also discloses a hard disk lighting mode configuration system, comprising:

[0019] The part number retrieval module is used to retrieve the part number information of all hard drives from the bill of materials;

[0020] The table creation module is used to create a table that maps part numbers to lighting modes;

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The core of this invention is to provide a method for configuring hard drive LED modes. In existing technologies, a DIP switch is designed on the backplane to inform the CPLD that it needs to adapt to the current backplane. However, because the source of the upstream SATA / SAS signals needs to be known by the CPLD before it can establish an LED mode for the backplane, in mass production, the configured LED mode needs to be manually identified and established by manually manipulating the DIP switch. This wastes manpower and affects production efficiency.

[0039] The hard drive backlight mode configuration method provided by this invention identifies the current board configuration in each configuration's BOM beforehand and allows the CPLD to obtain the upstream source, thus saving the manpower cost required for subsequent DIP switches. Because the backplane part number, cable part number, and component part number from each configuration's BOM are different, this identification and comparison method can be used to write the backplane's FRU into the production testing program. Then, the CPLD reads the information from the FRU to establish the backplane's backlight mode, saving subsequent manpower investment. Therefore, this invention can automatically establish a backlight mode for the hard drive backplane CPLD based on the part number classification in the bill of materials, effectively accelerating production efficiency.

[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the specific terms involved in the present invention are explained as follows:

[0041] FRU: Field Replacement Unit.

[0042] SATA: Serial Advanced Technology Attachment serial ATA.

[0043] SAS: Serial Attached SCSI.

[0044] HBA: Host Bus Adapter.

[0045] RAID: Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

[0046] CPLD: Complex Programmable Logic Device.

[0047] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Example 1:

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for configuring hard drive LED modes, including the following steps:

[0050] S1: Retrieve the part number information for all hard drives from the bill of materials.

[0051] The part number information for the hard drive includes: backplane part number, cable part number, and component part number.

[0052] S2: Establish a table to match part numbers with lighting modes.

[0053] S3: Get the part number of the hard drive to be configured.

[0054] The hard drive to be configured can be a SAS hard drive, a SATA hard drive, or an NVME hard drive.

[0055] S4: Using a preset production test program, obtain the corresponding LED module from the reference table based on the part number of the hard drive to be configured, and send the LED mode data to the FRU on the hard drive backplane.

[0056] Specifically, firstly, a pre-set production test program uses a sequential search algorithm in the lookup table to find the matching part number of the hard drive to be configured, and then obtains the corresponding LED module data. Next, the LED mode data is sent to the FRU on the hard drive backplane.

[0057] S5: Establish the LED lighting mode for the hard drive backplane via CPLD.

[0058] As an example, the LED pattern data in the FRU of the hard drive backplane is first read using a CPLD. Then, the LED pattern of the hard drive backplane is established based on the LED pattern data.

[0059] This embodiment provides a method for configuring hard drive LED lighting modes. By pre-identifying the current board configuration in each configuration's BOM and allowing the CPLD to obtain the upstream source, the manual labor cost required for subsequent DIP switches is saved. Because the backplane part number, cable part number, and component part number brought by each configuration's BOM are different, this identification and comparison method can be used to write the backplane's FRU in the production test program, and then the CPLD can read the information in the FRU to establish the backplane's lighting mode, thus saving subsequent human resource investment.

[0066] The lighting mode data acquisition module 4 includes a filtering unit 6, which uses a sequential search algorithm in the reference table to find the same part number according to the part number of the hard disk to be configured, and obtains the corresponding lighting module data.

[0067] Illumination mode module 5 is used to establish the illumination mode of the hard disk backplane through CPLD.

[0068] Specifically, the LED lighting mode assembly module 5 includes a data reading unit 7 and an execution unit 8. The data reading unit 7 is used to read the LED lighting mode data in the FRU of the hard disk backplane through the CPLD; the execution unit 8 is used to establish the LED lighting mode of the hard disk backplane based on the LED lighting mode data.

[0069] This embodiment provides a hard drive LED mode configuration system. By pre-identifying the current board configuration in each configuration's BOM and allowing the CPLD to obtain the upstream source, it saves the manpower cost required for subsequent DIP switch operations. Because the backplane part number, cable part number, and component part number brought by each configuration's BOM are different, this identification and comparison method can be used to write the backplane's FRU in the production test program, and then the CPLD can read the information in the FRU to establish the backplane's LED mode, thus saving subsequent manpower investment.
