This invention discloses a kind of ATCA
machine frame
management system, which includes: Console, Box management controller for SMC, and the
server boards which are set with the
data transmission module KVM and the
server system. The connection between the console and the SMC is through the net, while the one between the SMC and the
data transmission module KVM is through the reinforced IPMB
bus connection in which Y-Y connection is in use. The SMC is used to send the operation information on the keyboard and the mouse from the console to the related severs
system through the IPMB
bus connection. The
data transmission module KVM is used to send the video data to the console through the IPMB
bus connection. In addition, this invention also discloses a method to realize the long-distance control on the
server. With this invention, no external KVM switches are needed, as the result, the space and the cost are reduced, and the
confusion of the connection is escaped. It can also enhance the security and the stability of the
system, and realize the unification of the management on the KVM user and the frame, which will reduce the cost and the difficult of the
system maintenance.
