The present application relates to the technical field of backplanes. Disclosed are a hard disk
backplane structure, a control method therefor and a
server. The hard disk
backplane structure comprises: first connectors located on one side of a
backplane and facing a
system unit; second connectors located on the other side of the backplane and facing a hard disk drive, the second connectors being correspondingly connected to the first connectors; and a
complex programmable logic device located inside the backplane and separately connected to the first connectors and the second connectors, wherein the
complex programmable logic device is used for generating information about field replaceable units in a universal backplane management specification so as to determine backplane configuration information, and is further used for feeding back hard disk state information and controlling a lighting operation after receiving a universal backplane management protocol. Such a backplane structure is free of restrictions of architecture
chip selection, and integrates functions of field replaceable units and functions of controllers in the original universal backplane management specification into a
complex programmable logic device, thus improving the integration density of chips, increasing the structural opening ratio, improving heat dissipation efficiency, reducing
layout and wiring difficulties, and decreasing
chip costs.
