[0002] Server maintenance personnel typically manage servers remotely through the server's network management interface. However, in certain situations, they may need to handle problems on-site, such as initial server deployment where remote management is unavailable, remote management failing or inaccessible, or problems that cannot be resolved or eliminated through remote management. In these cases, it's necessary to use the server's various peripheral maintenance interfaces for management and control, such as USB, VGA, and serial ports to connect devices like keyboards, mice, USB flash drives, and serial cables. To meet these needs, servers generally have various maintenance interfaces like USB, VGA, and serial ports on their front or rear panels. However, with increasing demands for server expandability, the space available for I / O interfaces on the rear panel is becoming increasingly limited. While USB, VGA, and serial ports have low usage rates, they occupy a significant amount of valuable I / O space. Therefore, a more integrated maintenance interface is needed.

[0003] Therefore, the aforementioned technical problems urgently need to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] In existing server operation and maintenance management processes, server maintenance personnel typically manage servers remotely through the server's network management interface. However, in certain fault situations, maintenance personnel must handle the issues on-site, such as when the server cannot be remotely managed during initial deployment, when remote management fails or is inaccessible, or when remote management fails to resolve or troubleshoot the problem. In these cases, it is necessary to use various peripheral maintenance interfaces of the server for management and control, such as USB interfaces, VGA interfaces, and serial ports, to connect devices like keyboards, mice, USB flash drives, and VGA / serial cables. To address these needs, servers generally have various maintenance interfaces such as USB, VGA, and serial ports designed on the front or rear panel. These maintenance interfaces are not used frequently during daily server use, resulting in low usage, but they are indispensable. To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, this application provides a server signal transmission scheme. When acquiring signals, control signals can be obtained from different types of expansion interfaces. These control signals are then transmitted via adapter cables to a maintenance interface integrated on the target server, i.e., the target interface. The target server can then execute maintenance operations corresponding to the control signals. Only one operation and maintenance interface is integrated on the target server, which reduces the complexity of server interface design and panel occupancy while meeting the server's scalability requirements.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a server signal transmission method provided in an embodiment of this application. See also... Figure 1 As shown, the server signal transmission method includes:

[0034] S11: Obtain signals from different types of expansion interfaces to obtain different types of control signals.

[0035] In this embodiment, signals need to be obtained from different types of expansion interfaces to obtain different types of control signals. The expansion interface is connected to the adapter cable, which can be an adapter on the adapter cable or an interface set up independently of the adapter cable. For the target server, the expansion interface provides extended functions to the target server through the adapter cable and the target interface.

[0036] It is understood that there are generally multiple expansion interfaces, so that it is meaningful to integrate a single target interface on the target server. The expansion interface can be a first expansion interface for acquiring universal serial bus signals, a second expansion interface for acquiring video graphics array signals, or a third expansion interface for acquiring asynchronous serial port signals. This embodiment is only for illustrative purposes and does not limit the specific type of the expansion interface.

[0037] S12: Send different types of control signals to the target interface set on the target server via an adapter cable, so that the target server performs the corresponding type of operation and maintenance operation according to the control signals received by the target interface; wherein, the target interface is the only operation and maintenance interface integrated on the target server.

[0038] In this embodiment, after the expansion interface obtains the corresponding type of control signal, it sends different types of control signals to the target interface on the target server via a converter cable. This enables the target server to perform corresponding maintenance operations based on the control signals received by the target interface. The target interface is the only maintenance interface integrated on the target server. That is, the expansion interface first obtains the control signal, and then transmits the control signal to the target interface on the target server via the converter cable. Based on this, the target server can perform corresponding maintenance operations based on the control signals received by the target interface.

[0039] It should be noted that the target interface in this embodiment is the unique operation and maintenance interface integrated on the target server. For example, it can be an operation and maintenance interface that integrates devices such as USB interface, VGA interface, and serial port, and connects to keyboard, mouse, USB flash drive, VGA interface, and serial cable. Similarly, this embodiment is only for illustrative purposes and does not limit the specific type of the target interface.

[0040] As can be seen, this embodiment first obtains signals from different types of expansion interfaces to obtain different types of control signals; then, it sends these different types of control signals to a target interface installed on the target server via an adapter cable, enabling the target server to perform corresponding maintenance operations based on the control signals received by the target interface; wherein, the target interface is the only maintenance interface integrated on the target server. In this embodiment, when obtaining signals, control signals can be obtained from different types of expansion interfaces, and the control signals are sent via adapter cables to a single maintenance interface integrated on the target server, i.e., the target interface, allowing the target server to perform maintenance operations corresponding to the control signals. Integrating only one maintenance interface on the target server reduces server interface design complexity and panel occupancy while meeting server scalability requirements.

[0041] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a specific server signal transmission method provided in this application embodiment. See also... Figure 3 As shown, the server signal transmission method includes:

[0042] S21: Define the general serial bus signal pins, video graphics array signal pins and asynchronous serial port signal pins in the communication interface, and define a first preset number of 5V power supply pins and a second preset number of ground pins in the communication interface to obtain a target interface that integrates the first expansion interface function, the second expansion interface function and the third expansion interface function, and set the target interface on the target server.

[0043] In this embodiment, the target interface needs to be designed first. This target interface integrates a USB interface, a VGA interface, and a serial port. Specifically, the Universal Serial Bus (USB) signal pins, the Video Graphics Array (VGA) signal pins, and the asynchronous serial port signal pins are defined in the communication interface. A first preset number of 5V power supply pins and a second preset number of ground (GND) pins are also defined in the communication interface, resulting in a target interface integrating a first expansion interface function, a second expansion interface function, and a third expansion interface function. This target interface is then set on the target server. Furthermore, this embodiment also limits the number of pins of each type. For example, two sets of Universal Serial Bus signal pins, one set of Video Graphics Array (VGA) signal pins, and one set of asynchronous serial port signal pins can be defined in the communication interface.

[0044] Figure 3The image shows an example of the pin definition for an SFF8088 interface. The interface includes two sets of USB 3.0 signals, two sets of USB 2.0 signals, one set of VGA signals, one set of RS232 UART serial port signals, a 5V power supply pin, and a GND pin.

[0045] Based on this, the target interface in this embodiment is either the SFF-8088 interface or the SFF-8644 interface. That is, this embodiment uses the SFF-8088 or SFF-8644 interface as the server operation and maintenance management interface. The SFF-8088 Mini-SAS connector is specifically designed for implementing Mini SAS external interconnect solutions. The SFF-8088 is a 26-pin "Mini SAS" connector with a metal housing compatible with shielded external connections. The SFF-8088 complies with the latest 6Gb / s Mini-SAS 2.0 specification and supports the 6Gb / s data transmission protocol. "Mini SAS external" refers to an external interface, similar to a network cable port. A typical application is the SAS link between the SAS HBA and the SAS drive subsystem. It should be noted that for some higher-density servers, such as blade servers, the panel space is very limited, making it impossible to accommodate USB, VGA, and serial ports. In such cases, the SUV interface can be used as the operation and maintenance interface for the blade server, connecting USB, VGA, or serial ports via the SUV interface and SUV adapter cable. However, the SUV interface's low height but long length is not suitable for the requirement that the interface length of ordinary servers should be as short as possible. Therefore, ordinary servers can adopt the design method of this embodiment.

[0046] S22: Obtain a Universal Serial Bus (USB) signal from a first extended interface that transmits data according to the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard, obtain a Video Graphics Array (VGA) signal from a second extended interface that transmits data according to the Video Graphics Array (VGA) standard, and obtain an asynchronous serial port (APC) signal from a third extended interface that transmits data according to the APC protocol, thereby obtaining the control signal containing the USB signal, the VGA signal, and the APC signal.

[0047] In this embodiment, after designing the target interface, during server maintenance, signals are obtained using extended interfaces. Specifically, universal serial bus signals are obtained from a first extended interface that transmits data according to the universal serial bus standard, video graphics array signals are obtained from a second extended interface that transmits data according to the video graphics array standard, and asynchronous serial port signals are obtained from a third extended interface that transmits data according to the asynchronous serial communication protocol, thereby obtaining the control signal containing the universal serial bus signal, the video graphics array signal, and the asynchronous serial port signal.

[0048] S23: Send the Universal Serial Bus signal, the Video Graphics Array signal, and the Asynchronous Serial Port signal to the target interface set on the target server via the adapter cable, so that the target server performs the corresponding type of operation and maintenance operation according to the Universal Serial Bus signal, the Video Graphics Array signal, and the Asynchronous Serial Port signal received by the target interface.

[0049] In this embodiment, for the target interface that integrates the first expansion interface function, the second expansion interface function, and the third expansion interface function, after obtaining the universal serial bus signal, the video graphics array signal, and the asynchronous serial port signal, the target interface further sends the universal serial bus signal, the video graphics array signal, and the asynchronous serial port signal to the target interface set on the target server through an adapter cable, so that the target server performs the corresponding type of operation and maintenance operation according to the universal serial bus signal, the video graphics array signal, and the asynchronous serial port signal received by the target interface.

[0050] As can be seen, this embodiment of the application defines the Universal Serial Bus (USB) signal pins, video graphics array (VGA) signal pins, and asynchronous serial port (APC) signal pins in the communication interface, and defines a first preset number of 5V power supply pins and a second preset number of ground pins in the communication interface, thereby obtaining a target interface integrating the functions of a first expansion interface, a second expansion interface, and a third expansion interface. This target interface is then set on a target server. Based on this, the control signal, which includes the USB signal, the VGA signal, and the APC signal, is obtained from the first expansion interface that transmits data according to the USB standard, the VGA signal from the second expansion interface that transmits data according to the VGA standard, and the APC signal from the third expansion interface that transmits data according to the APC communication protocol. Finally, the USB signal, the VGA signal, and the APC signal are sent to the target interface on the target server via an adapter cable, causing the target server to perform corresponding maintenance operations based on the USB signal, VGA signal, and APC signal received by the target interface. This allows for the expansion of a virtual interface with general serial bus signal, video graphics array signal, and asynchronous serial port signal reception capabilities by integrating only one operation and maintenance interface on the target server.

[0051] See Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this application also discloses a server signal transmission device, including:

[0054] In this embodiment, the signal acquisition module 11 needs to acquire signals from different types of expansion interfaces to obtain different types of control signals. The expansion interface is connected to the adapter cable and can be an adapter on the adapter cable or an interface set independently of the adapter cable. For the target server, the expansion interface provides extended functions to the target server through the adapter cable and the target interface.

[0055] It is understood that there are generally multiple expansion interfaces, so that it is meaningful to integrate a single target interface on the target server. The expansion interface can be a first expansion interface for acquiring universal serial bus signals, a second expansion interface for acquiring video graphics array signals, or a third expansion interface for acquiring asynchronous serial port signals. This embodiment is only for illustrative purposes and does not limit the specific type of the expansion interface.

[0056] In this embodiment, after the expansion interface receives a control signal of the corresponding type, the signal sending module 12 sends different types of control signals to the target interface on the target server via a converter cable, enabling the target server to perform corresponding maintenance operations based on the control signals received by the target interface. The target interface is the only maintenance interface integrated on the target server. That is, the expansion interface first receives the control signal, and then transmits the control signal to the target interface on the target server via the converter cable. Based on this, the target server can perform corresponding maintenance operations based on the control signals received by the target interface.

[0057] It should be noted that the target interface in this embodiment is the unique operation and maintenance interface integrated on the target server. For example, it can be an operation and maintenance interface that integrates devices such as USB interface, VGA interface, and serial port, and connects to keyboard, mouse, USB flash drive, VGA interface, and serial cable. Similarly, this embodiment is only for illustrative purposes and does not limit the specific type of the target interface.

[0058] As can be seen, this embodiment first obtains signals from different types of expansion interfaces to obtain different types of control signals; then, it sends these different types of control signals to a target interface installed on the target server via an adapter cable, enabling the target server to perform corresponding maintenance operations based on the control signals received by the target interface; wherein, the target interface is the only maintenance interface integrated on the target server. In this embodiment, when obtaining signals, control signals can be obtained from different types of expansion interfaces, and the control signals are sent via adapter cables to a single maintenance interface integrated on the target server, i.e., the target interface, allowing the target server to perform maintenance operations corresponding to the control signals. Integrating only one maintenance interface on the target server reduces server interface design complexity and panel occupancy while meeting server scalability requirements.
