[0002] As server technology and functionality continue to improve, servers support an increasing number of configurations. This necessitates displaying server configuration information in the BIOS setup to help users understand the availability of connected devices. The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is a set of programs embedded in a ROM (Read Only Memory image) chip on the computer's motherboard. It stores the computer's most important basic input / output programs, system settings, power-on self-test (POST) programs, and system startup programs. Its main function is to provide the lowest-level, most direct hardware settings and control for the computer.

[0003] Currently, in order to accurately and intuitively view and configure the properties of external devices connected to the server, BIOS R&D engineers need to collect the configuration information of the server devices in advance and process it into a set of static data. This static data is then used in the code to perform functions such as matching and assigning silkscreen strings.

[0056] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0057] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the concepts involved in the present invention are described below:

[0058] BIOS (Basic Input Output System): The BIOS is a set of programs embedded in a ROM (Read Only Memory image) chip on the computer's motherboard. It stores the computer's most important basic input / output programs, system settings information, power-on self-test (POST) programs, and system startup programs. Its main function is to provide the lowest-level and most direct hardware settings and control for the computer. In this embodiment of the invention, the name of the first hardware I / O port displayed in the BIOS setup interface is determined mainly based on the silkscreen information of the first slot where the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port of the server device is located. Then, based on the name of the first hardware I / O port, the specific location of the first external device is found, and relevant processing is performed on the first external device.

[0059] PCIe (PCI Express, Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard proposed by Intel in 2001 to replace the older PCI, PCI-X, and AGP bus standards. PCIe features high-speed serial point-to-point dual-channel high-bandwidth transmission, where each connected device has its own dedicated channel bandwidth and does not share the bus bandwidth. It primarily supports active power management, error reporting, end-to-end reliable transmission, hot-plugging, and Quality of Service (QoS) functions. Its main advantage is its high data transfer rate, and it still has considerable development potential. PCIe also comes in various specifications, from PCIe x1 to PCIe x32, to meet the needs of both low-speed and high-speed devices for a certain period. The latest PCIe interface is PCIe 3.0, with a bit rate of 8Gbps, approximately twice the bandwidth of the previous generation. It also includes a series of important new features such as transmitter and receiver equalization, PLL (Phase Locked Loop) improvements, and clock data recovery to improve data transfer and data protection performance.

[0060] SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) is an industry-standard serial hardware driver interface used to connect host bus adapters to high-capacity storage devices such as optical drives and hard drives. This interface is typically used to connect hard drives to host systems, such as computer motherboards. It implements the AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) protocol standard and is currently the most common solid-state drive (SSD) interface.

[0061] BMC (Baseboard Management Controller): A Baseboard Management Controller is a dedicated service processor that uses sensors to monitor the status of a computer, server, or other hardware device. It communicates with the system administrator via a separate connection. The BMC is part of the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and is typically contained within the main board of the monitored device. The BMC's sensors measure internal physical variables such as temperature, humidity, power supply voltage, fan speed, communication parameters, and operating system functions. If any of these variables exceeds specified limits, it notifies the administrator, who can then take appropriate action remotely.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating the steps of an external device processing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method may include:

[0063] Step 110: Obtain the silkscreen information of the first slot where the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port is located.

[0064] In this embodiment of the invention, the first hardware I / O port can be any one of several hardware I / O ports corresponding to at least one CPU (Central Processing Unit / Processor) of the server device. This hardware I / O port is used to connect to external devices of the server. The first external device is any external device connected to any one of the several hardware I / O ports corresponding to at least one CPU of the server device. Specifically, this external device can be an external hard drive, network card, GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), or other types of external devices to implement various complex business processes.

[0065] Specifically, the external devices connected to a server will vary depending on the specific business processing requirements. The combination of external devices used to fulfill a particular business processing need is called a configuration. A single server can be configured in multiple ways by combining different external devices.

[0066] It should be noted that the first hardware I / O port of the server device can connect to one or more slots and / or drive bays, each slot and / or drive bay having silkscreen information corresponding to that drive bay. The first hardware I / O port connects to the first external device through one of the at least one connected slot and / or drive bay as the first slot. It should be noted that the first slot connected to the first external device may vary depending on the device type and bandwidth of the first external device.

[0067] In this embodiment of the invention, the silkscreen information of the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port in the first slot can be obtained through the BIOS during the POST (Power-On Self Test) phase of the server device.

[0068] Step 120: Determine the configuration relationship between the first hardware I / O port and the first external device based on the silkscreen information of the first slot.

[0069] In this embodiment of the invention, the setting relationship between the first hardware I / O port and the first external device can include a fixed setting relationship and a non-fixed setting relationship. Wherein, a fixed setting relationship between the first hardware I / O port and the first external device means that the correspondence between the first hardware I / O port and the first slot where the first external device is located is fixed. However, in actual design application scenarios, it is impossible to maintain a fixed correspondence between the first hardware I / O port and the first slot where the first external device is located. In this case, for situations where a fixed setting cannot be achieved, the correspondence between the first hardware I / O port and the first slot where the first external device is located can be determined to be a non-fixed setting based on the silkscreen information of the first slot. For example, under the premise of meeting the design requirements, the silkscreen of the four NVEM slots connected to one of the PCIe rootports of CPU#1 can be set to NVEM#0, NVEM#1, NVEM#2 and NVEM#3 in the order of Lane 1-15; for the SATA port, the silkscreen correspondence between the upper-level SATA controller port and at least one slot and / or drive bay connected to it remains unchanged. For example, if the silkscreen of the upper-level SATA controller port is SATAcontroller port 0 / 1 / 2 / 3..., the silkscreen of the four slots and / or drive bays connected to it will also remain SATA0 / 1 / 2 / 3; however, if it is not possible to fix the correspondence between the first hardware I / O port and the first slot where the first external device is located under the premise of meeting the design requirements, steps 130-150 need to be executed to process the first external device.

[0070] Specifically, the silkscreen information of the first slot can be compared with the preset silkscreen information of the slot that is fixedly set with the silkscreen information of the first hardware I / O port. If the silkscreen information of the first slot is in the preset silkscreen information of the slot that is fixedly set with the silkscreen information of the first hardware I / O port, it can be determined that the setting relationship between the first hardware I / O port and the first external device is a fixed setting; if the silkscreen information of the first slot is not in the preset silkscreen information of the slot that is fixedly set with the silkscreen information of the first hardware I / O port, it can be determined that the setting relationship between the first hardware I / O port and the first external device is a non-fixed setting.

[0071] It should be noted that the fixed setting between the first hardware I / O port and the first slot where the first external device is located means that the silkscreen information of the first hardware I / O port and the silkscreen information of the first slot are consistent and remain fixed.

[0072] Step 130: When the first hardware I / O port and the first external device are not fixed, determine the combined ID information corresponding to the first external device.

[0073] The combined ID information is a combination of feature information that distinguishes the correspondence between the first external device and the first hardware I / O port. This feature information may include ID information related to the first external device, ID information related to the first hardware I / O port, and ID information related to the first slot. Specifically, it may include the device ID information of the first external device, the configuration identifier information of the configuration to which the first external device belongs, the ID information of the first hardware I / O port, and the silkscreen information of the first slot. The combined ID information can be determined by combining one or more of the different feature information. In practical applications, it can be determined based on the external devices connected to all hardware I / O ports of the server device, including the first hardware I / O port, and the information that can accurately and conveniently distinguish the first external device can be used as the combined ID information corresponding to the first external device.

[0074] In this embodiment of the invention, when it is determined through step 120 that the first hardware I / O port and the first external device are not fixedly configured, the combined ID information corresponding to the first external device is determined. Specifically, the combined ID information corresponding to the first external device can be determined by the interface type of the first hardware I / O port, and the information included in the combined ID information is obtained. After obtaining the combined ID information corresponding to the first external device, steps 140 and 150 can be executed.

[0075] Step 140: Determine the name of the first hardware I / O port based on the combined ID information and display the name of the first hardware I / O port in the BIOS setup interface.

[0076] In this embodiment of the invention, the name of the first hardware I / O port determined according to the combined ID information can be a string of silkscreen information of the first slot where the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port is located, as determined according to the combined ID information, or it can be a GPIO (General-purpose input / output) string.

[0077] After the name of the first hardware I / O port is displayed in the BIOS setup interface, you can intuitively configure and view the properties of the first external device connected to the server device through the first hardware I / O port.

[0078] Step 150: Based on the first hardware I / O port name displayed in the BIOS setup interface, obtain the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port corresponding to the first hardware I / O port name.

[0079] The configuration information of the first hardware I / O port includes the first hardware I / O port information and the first slot information of the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port.

[0080] It should be noted that the first hardware I / O port information may include the CPU number to which the first hardware I / O port belongs, the original number of the first hardware I / O port, and the bandwidth allocated to the first hardware I / O port by the BIOS; the first slot information of the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port may include the physical slot number and the silkscreen information of the first slot; wherein, the physical slot number and the silkscreen information of the first slot can have a one-to-one correspondence, and the silkscreen information of the first slot can be determined by the physical slot number;

[0081] Similarly, based on the silkscreen information of the first slot corresponding to the first hardware I / O port name displayed in the BIOS setup interface, the number of the first slot corresponding to the silkscreen information of the first slot can be determined. Then, based on the number of the first slot, the specific location and presence of the first external device connected to the first slot can be determined.

[0082] In this embodiment of the invention, the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port corresponding to the first hardware I / O port name is obtained based on the different hardware I / O ports of the server device, according to the first hardware I / O port name displayed in the BIOS setup interface. Therefore, the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port obtained in step 150 can be the configuration information of any hardware I / O port among several hardware I / O ports set in the current server device. The number of the first slot can be the number of the first slot designed for the first external device currently connected to the first hardware I / O port, after obtaining the first hardware I / O port information corresponding to the first hardware I / O port name and the silkscreen information of the first slot of the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port according to the first hardware I / O port name displayed in the BIOS setup interface. This number is used to establish the correspondence between the number of the first slot and the silkscreen information of the first slot, so as to facilitate the determination of the current presence of the first external device through the silkscreen information of the first slot, that is, the name of the first hardware I / O port. After designing a unique first slot number corresponding to the first external device currently connected to the first hardware I / O port, the slot number and the silkscreen information of the first slot are used as the first slot information. The first slot information and the first hardware I / O port information are used as the first hardware I / O port configuration information corresponding to the first hardware I / O port name, thereby completing the operation of obtaining the first hardware I / O port configuration information corresponding to the first hardware I / O port name.

[0083] Step 160: Send the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port to the BMC; the BMC displays the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port in the BMC Web interface, and processes the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port based on the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port displayed in the BMC Web interface.

[0084] In this embodiment of the invention, the BIOS can obtain the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port corresponding to the first hardware I / O port name displayed in the BIOS setup interface, and then send the configuration information to the BMC. After receiving the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port, the BMC displays the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port in the BMC Web interface. Of course, after receiving the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port, the BMC can select the part of the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port that needs to be displayed in the BMC Web interface according to actual needs. The comparison of this embodiment of the invention does not make specific limitations.

[0085] Specifically, the BMC processes the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port based on the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port displayed in the BMC Web interface. This processing can include viewing and setting the attributes of the first external device, and establishing a one-to-one correspondence between the software attributes and the physical location of the first external device to locate it. The software attributes of the first external device can include its Segment (data file space), Bus, Device, and Function number. The physical location of the first external device includes the silkscreen information of the chassis or card slot where it resides. Since there is a one-to-one correspondence between the silkscreen information of the first slots, the specific physical location of the first external device can be determined through the silkscreen information of the first slots, thus locating the first external device. After determining the physical location of the first external device, operations such as viewing and setting its software attributes are completed.

[0086] Furthermore, when the first external device in the server equipment fails, the software attributes of the first external device in the alarm information correspond to the silkscreen information of the first slot in the physical location of the first external device. Based on the silkscreen information of the first slot, the first slot where the first external device is located is determined, and then the specific physical location of the first external device is located. After locating the specific physical location of the first external device, maintenance and other operations are performed on the faulty first external device.

[0087] In this embodiment of the invention, processing the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port can also realize the function of system slot (Type 9) information in SMBIOS (System Management BIOS). The system slot information may include slot indicator, slot type, slot data bus width, whether it is currently in use, slot length, slot ID, slot characteristics, segment group number, bus number, device / function number, etc.

[0088] In this embodiment of the invention, when it is determined that the first hardware I / O port and the first external device are not fixedly configured based on the silkscreen information of the first slot where the first external device is located, the ID information corresponding to the first external device is determined, and the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port, determined by the ID information and displayed in the BIOS setup interface, is sent to the BMC. The BMC displays the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port in the BMC Web interface, and processes the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port based on the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port displayed in the BMC Web interface. The BIOS setup interface can rename the hardware I / O port names displayed on the server device, based on different hardware I / O ports. Based on these renamed hardware I / O port names, users can view and configure the software attributes of external devices. Furthermore, in the event of a faulty external device, the BMC can accurately locate and maintain the faulty device based on the correspondence between its software attributes and physical location. This correspondence can also be used to access system slot information in SMBIOS.

[0089] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating the steps of another external device processing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the method may include:

[0090] Step 201: Obtain the silkscreen information of the first slot where the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port is located.

[0091] For details, please refer to step 110 above; it will not be repeated here.

[0092] Step 202: Match the silkscreen information of the first slot with the preset silkscreen list.

[0093] The preset silkscreen list includes slot silkscreen information that is fixedly set with the silkscreen information of the first hardware I / O port.

[0094] Specifically, the silkscreen information of all slots that are fixedly set with the silkscreen information of the first hardware I / O port can be set as a preset silkscreen list. The preset silkscreen list includes the silkscreen information of all slots that are fixedly set with the silkscreen information of the first hardware I / O port. The silkscreen information of the first slot is matched with the preset silkscreen list. If the match is successful, step 203 is executed; if the match fails, step 205 is executed.

[0095] Step 203: Determine that the first hardware I / O port and the first external device are fixed.

[0096] Specifically, if the silkscreen information of the first slot matches the silkscreen information of the slot in the preset silkscreen list, the first hardware I / O port and the first external device are determined to be fixed.

[0097] In this embodiment of the invention, if it is determined that the first hardware I / O port and the first external device have a fixed configuration relationship, step 204 is executed.

[0098] Step 204: Determine the silkscreen information of the first slot as the name of the first hardware I / O port and display the name of the first hardware I / O port in the BIOS setup interface.

[0099] In this invention, when it is determined that the first hardware I / O port and the first external device have a fixed configuration relationship, the silkscreen information of the first slot where the first external device is located can be directly determined as the name of the first hardware I / O port, and the name of the first hardware I / O port can be displayed in the BIOS setup interface.

[0100] After the name of the first hardware I / O port is displayed in the BIOS setup interface, you can intuitively configure and view the properties of the first external device connected to the server device through the first hardware I / O port.

[0101] Step 205: Determine that the first hardware I / O port and the first external device are not fixed.

[0102] Specifically, if the silkscreen information of the first slot fails to match the silkscreen information of the slot in the preset silkscreen list, it can be determined that the first hardware I / O port and the first external device are not fixed settings.

[0103] In this embodiment of the invention, if it is determined that the first hardware I / O port and the first external device are not in a fixed configuration relationship, step 206 is executed.

[0104] Step 206: Determine the interface type of the first hardware I / O port.

[0105] In this embodiment of the invention, the interface type of the first hardware I / O port may include PCIE rootport and SATA port.

[0106] Specifically, after determining that the first hardware I / O port and the first external device have a non-fixed configuration relationship, it is necessary to determine the specific content of the combined ID information corresponding to the first external device based on the specific interface type of the first hardware I / O port. Specifically, if the interface type of the first hardware I / O port is a PCIE root port, then step 207 is executed; if the interface type of the first hardware I / O port is a SATA port, then step 208 is executed.

[0107] Step 207: Obtain the ID information of the first hardware I / O port corresponding to the first hardware I / O port.

[0108] In this embodiment of the invention, after determining that the interface type of the first hardware I / O port is a PCIE rootport, the ID information of the first hardware I / O port corresponding to the first hardware I / O port can be obtained. Specifically, the ID information of the first hardware I / O port can be determined based on the hardware information of the first hardware I / O port. The hardware information may include the design bandwidth, information on the combination of different bandwidths and different external devices, the types of external devices that can be connected under the first hardware I / O port, and the silkscreen information of the slot where the external device is located.

[0109] Specifically, the GPIO string of the hardware information of the first hardware I / O port can be used as the ID information of the first hardware I / O port.

[0110] Step 208: Obtain the SATA configuration identifier information of the first SATA configuration to which the first external device belongs.

[0111] In this embodiment of the invention, after determining that the interface type of the first hardware I / O port is a SATA port, the SATA configuration identification information of the first SATA configuration to which the first external device belongs can be obtained; specifically, the SATA configuration is the configuration of the SATA device obtained by dividing the SATA external devices connected to the server device according to different functions. The same server may include several SATA configurations, and the first SATA configuration is the SATA configuration to which the first external device belongs among the several SATA configurations.

[0112] Specifically, the SATA configuration identification information of the first SATA configuration can be the difference information between different SATA configurations when the SATA external devices connected to the server device are divided according to different functions.

[0113] It should be noted that the SATA configuration is divided only for the SATA external devices connected to the server device according to different functions, which is different from the configuration obtained by combining external devices connected to the server device to meet a certain business processing in related technologies.

[0114] In this embodiment of the invention, the GPIO combination string of the first SATA configuration to which the first external device belongs can be used as the SATA configuration identifier information of the first SATA configuration.

[0115] After executing steps 207 and / or 208, step 209 is executed based on the first hardware I / O port ID information obtained in step 207 and / or the SATA configuration identifier information obtained in step 208.

[0116] Step 209: Determine the ID information of the first hardware I / O port and / or SATA configuration identifier information as the combined ID information corresponding to the first external device.

[0117] In this embodiment of the invention, after executing step 207 and / or step 208, based on the ID information of the first hardware I / O port obtained in step 207 and / or the SATA configuration identifier information obtained in step 208, the ID information of the first hardware I / O port and / or the SATA configuration identifier information are determined as combined ID information corresponding to the first external device.

[0118] Optionally, after step 207, sub-steps 2071-2073 may also be included:

[0119] Sub-step 2071: Determine the external device information connected to the first hardware I / O port based on the bandwidth information of the first hardware I / O port.

[0120] In the case where the interface type of the first hardware I / O port is a PCIE root port, the ID information of the first hardware I / O port may also include the bandwidth information of the first hardware I / O port. The bandwidth information of the first hardware I / O port is used to determine the external device information connected to the first hardware I / O port.

[0121] Specifically, the external device information may include the type and number of external devices connected to the first hardware I / O port under the bandwidth conditions of the bandwidth information. If the number and / or type of external devices in the external device information is greater than 1, it indicates that the first hardware I / O port, belonging to the same PCIE root port, has different types and / or different numbers of external devices connected to it under the same bandwidth. In this case, further differentiation of the ID information of the first hardware I / O port is needed to accurately locate the first external device. Therefore, if the number and / or type of external devices in the external device information is greater than 1, step 2072 is executed.

[0122] It should be noted that when the type and / or quantity of external devices in the external device information is equal to 1, it indicates that the first hardware I / O port belonging to the PCIe root port, with the same bandwidth, can only connect to one type of external device and can only connect to one external device at a time. In this case, the ID information of the first hardware I / O port can be used to accurately locate the first external device. Therefore, when the type and / or quantity of external devices in the external device information is equal to 1, step 2072 is unnecessary. After step 207, steps 209-213 can be executed to accurately locate the first external device.

[0123] Sub-step 2072: If the type and / or number of external devices is greater than 1, obtain the device ID information of the first external device.

[0124] Specifically, when the number and / or type of external device in the external device information is greater than one, even if the first hardware I / O port belonging to the PCIe root port has the same bandwidth, the types and / or numbers of external devices connected to the first hardware I / O port may differ. Therefore, further differentiation of the ID information of the first hardware I / O port is needed to accurately locate the first external device. Thus, when the number and / or type of external device in the external device information is greater than one, it is necessary to further obtain the device ID information of the first external device and combine it with the ID information of the first hardware I / O port to obtain the combined ID information corresponding to the first external device, thereby achieving accurate location of the first external device.

[0125] It should be noted that the device ID information of the first external device distinguishes the types and quantities of all first external devices that can be connected to the first hardware I / O port under the same bandwidth. For example, when the first hardware I / O port has a bandwidth of ×16, it can connect to one board or one riser card. In this case, the device ID information of the first external device currently connected to the first hardware I / O port is needed to distinguish between the board and the riser card. Similarly, when the first hardware I / O port has a bandwidth of 2 ×8, it can connect to one riser card with a bandwidth of ×16 or two riser cards with a bandwidth of ×8. In this case, the device ID information of the first external device currently connected to the first hardware I / O port is needed to distinguish the number of external devices. The specific information regarding the device ID can be determined according to the specific configuration of the server equipment, and this embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0126] Sub-step 2073: Combine the device ID information of the first external device with the combined ID information to determine the combined ID information corresponding to the first external device.

[0127] In this embodiment of the invention, when the type of external device and / or the number of external devices is greater than 1, after obtaining the device ID information of the first external device, the device ID information of the first external device can be combined with the combined ID information by determining the ID information of the first hardware I / O port as corresponding to the first external device, and the combined ID information is determined as the ID information corresponding to the first external device. Then, steps 209-213 are executed to complete the processing operation of the first external device.

[0128] In this embodiment of the invention, when the first hardware I / O port has the same bandwidth, and the types and / or numbers of external devices connected to the first hardware I / O port are different, the first hardware I / O portID information alone is insufficient to accurately identify and locate the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port. Further differentiation based on the device ID information of the first external device is required. This allows for accurate location and locating of different external devices connected to different hardware I / O ports of the server device, even under special circumstances where the first hardware I / O port has the same bandwidth, and the types and / or numbers of external devices connected to the first hardware I / O port are different. Based on this location information, relevant processing can be performed on the external devices.

[0129] Step 210: Determine the silkscreen information of the first external device in the first slot corresponding to the combined ID information as the name of the first hardware I / O port and display the name of the first hardware I / O port in the BIOS setup interface.

[0130] Specifically, since the first hardware I / O port and the first external device are not in a fixed configuration relationship, it is necessary to determine the combined ID information corresponding to the first external device through steps 206-209; then, the specific location of the first slot where the first external device is located is determined according to the combined ID information; then, the silkscreen information of the first external device in the first slot corresponding to the combined ID information is determined as the name of the first hardware I / O port and the name of the first hardware I / O port is displayed in the BIOS setup interface.

[0131] Step 211: Based on the first hardware I / O port name displayed in the BIOS setup interface, obtain the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port corresponding to the first hardware I / O port name.

[0132] This step can be referred to in detail in step 150 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0133] Step 212: Store the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port in the first memory corresponding to the name of the first hardware I / O port displayed in the BIOS setup interface.

[0134] Specifically, the first memory can be a memory in the server device set up based on different first hardware I / O ports for storing configuration information of the first hardware I / O ports; wherein, different memories can be set up for different hardware I / O ports of the server device, or an overall memory can be set up to store configuration information of different hardware I / O ports. In the overall memory, the hardware I / O port configuration information corresponding to all hardware I / O ports of the server device can be stored, and the hardware I / O port configuration information corresponding to all hardware I / O ports of the server device stored in the overall memory can be identified and distinguished by the first hardware I / O port name.

[0135] In this embodiment of the invention, the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port stored in the first memory can be stored in the form of an array corresponding to the name of the first hardware I / O port; according to the read and write method provided by the PCIE protocol, the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port is written into the first memory corresponding to the name of the first hardware I / O port displayed in the BIOS setup interface.

[0136] Optionally, after step 212, sub-steps 2121-2122 may also be included:

[0137] Sub-step 2121: If a change in the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port is detected, obtain the parameters of the changed configuration information of the first hardware I / O port.

[0138] Specifically, the parameters of the first hardware I / O port configuration information are the specific parameter values ​​corresponding to the first hardware I / O port configuration information. If any parameter value in the first hardware I / O port configuration information changes, the parameter value after the change can be obtained, and then sub-step 2122 can be executed according to the parameter value after the change.

[0139] Of course, if any parameter value in the first hardware I / O port configuration information changes, the data values ​​of all parameters in the first configuration information can be obtained, and then sub-step 2122 can be executed based on the data values ​​of all parameters in the first configuration information after the change.

[0140] Sub-step 2122: Update the first hardware I / O port configuration information according to the parameters of the changed first hardware I / O port configuration information.

[0141] Specifically, based on the parameters of the changed first hardware I / O port configuration information, the parameters of the changed first hardware I / O port configuration information can be reassigned to the parameters in the first memory corresponding to the parameters of the changed first hardware I / O port configuration information, so as to realize the real-time update of the first hardware I / O port configuration information stored in the first memory corresponding to the first hardware I / O port name when a change in the first hardware I / O port configuration information is detected.

[0142] In this embodiment of the invention, through sub-steps 2121-2122, when a change in the first hardware I / O port configuration information is detected, the parameters of the changed first hardware I / O port configuration information are obtained; and the first hardware I / O port configuration information is updated according to the parameters of the changed first hardware I / O port configuration information. This ensures the accuracy of the execution result of step 213.

[0143] Step 213: Send the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port to the BMC; the BMC displays the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port in the BMC Web interface, and processes the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port based on the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port displayed in the BMC Web interface.

[0144] For details on this step, please refer to step 160 above; it will not be repeated here.

[0145] Optionally, processing the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port based on the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port displayed in the BMC Web interface may include:

[0146] Based on the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port displayed in the BMC Web interface, determine the presence information of the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port;

[0147] Based on the location information of the first external device, perform maintenance and / or attribute setting processing on the first external device.

[0148] Specifically, when the first external device in the server equipment fails, the software attributes of the first external device in the alarm information correspond to the silkscreen information of the first slot in the physical location of the first external device. Based on the silkscreen information of the first slot, the first slot where the first external device is located is determined, and then the specific physical location of the first external device is located. After locating the specific physical location of the first external device, maintenance and other operations are performed on the faulty first external device.

[0149] In this embodiment of the invention, the presence information of the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port can also be determined based on the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port displayed in the BMC Web interface, and operations such as viewing and setting the relevant device attributes of the first external device can be performed.

[0150] In summary, in this embodiment of the invention, based on the silkscreen information of the first external device located in the first slot connected to the first hardware I / O port, when it is determined that the first hardware I / O port and the first external device are not fixedly configured, the combined ID information corresponding to the first external device is determined, and based on the combined ID information, the name of the first hardware I / O port is determined and displayed in the BIOS setup interface; for different application scenarios and application requirements, based on the name of the first hardware I / O port displayed in the BIOS setup interface, relevant processing operations are performed on the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port. This system allows for the renaming of the first hardware I / O port displayed in the BIOS setup interface, based on the combined ID information corresponding to the first external device, using different first hardware I / O ports of the server device as units. Furthermore, it retrieves the configuration information of the first hardware I / O port corresponding to the first hardware I / O port name displayed in the BIOS setup interface and sends this configuration information to the BMC. The BMC then displays this configuration information in its web interface and processes the first external device connected to the first hardware I / O port based on this information. This system can determine the presence of the first external device currently connected to the first hardware I / O port, enabling accurate location and identification of different external devices connected to different hardware I / O ports of the server device, and performing relevant processing on the external devices based on this location information. Even if the external devices included in different configurations of the server equipment change, the corresponding hardware I / O port name can be updated based on the ID information of the changed external device, further ensuring the accuracy of locating the flexibly configured external devices.
