Abstract
A system for monitoring and controlling a plurality of motherboards of a server through a system management unit. The system includes at least a plurality of logic transform units, an polling logic unit, a system connection back plane and a status display unit. Remote monitoring and system control can also be attained by a remote computer. The remote monitor and control system includes at least a plurality of logic transform units, an polling logic unit, a system connection back plane, a status display unit and a remote managing logic unit.
Claims18
A system for monitoring and controlling a plurality of motherboards of a server through a system management unit, comprising:
- a plurality of logic transform units, each included in said plurality of motherboards and composed of a parallel to serial logic unit for transferring status signals to said system management unit, and a serial to parallel logic unit for transferring control signals of said system management unit to said motherboard;
- an polling logic unit, included in said system management unit for receiving and transferring said status signals of said plurality of motherboards transformed by said logic transform unit, and transferring said control signals of said system management unit to said logic transform unit;
- a system connection back plane for connecting said logic transform units and said polling logic unit;
- and
- a status display unit included in said system management unit and connected with said polling logic unit for receiving said status signals of said plurality of motherboards and display the status of said plurality of motherboards.
A system for monitoring and controlling a plurality of motherboards of a server through a system management unit and a remote computer, comprising at least:
- a plurality of logic transform units, each included in said plurality of motherboards and composed of a parallel to serial logic unit for transferring status signals to said system management unit, and a serial to parallel logic unit for transferring control signals of said system management unit to said motherboard;
- an polling logic unit, included in said system management unit for receiving and transferring said status signals of said plurality of motherboards transformed by said logic transform unit, and transferring said control signals of said system management unit to said logic transform unit;
- a system connection back plane for connecting said logic transform units and said polling logic unit;
- a status display unit included in said system management unit and connected with said polling logic unit for receiving said status signals of said plurality of motherboards and display the status of said plurality of motherboards;
- and
- a remote managing logic unit included in said system management unit and connected with said polling logic unit for receiving said control signals from said remote computer, transferring said control signals to said plurality of motherboards, receiving said status signals of said plurality of motherboards, and transferring said status signals to said remote computer.
