The application provides a
server and a control method, which can be applied to the technical field of hardware. The
server comprises a
baseboard management controller, a
backup management controller, a component and a selection circuit, wherein the selection circuit is connected with the
baseboard management controller, the
backup management controller and the component, the
backup management controller is connected with the
baseboard management controller, the baseboard management controller controls the selection circuit to establish a first
bus link between the baseboard management controller and the component through a first enabling
signal, and performs platform management on the component through the first
bus link; and the backup management controller controls the selection circuit to establish a second
bus link between the backup management controller and the component through a second enabling
signal in response to detecting that the baseboard management controller fails, and takes over the platform management on the component through the second bus link.
