Abstract
A server system comprises a fan backplate, a server array, a substrate, a first fan controller and a second fan controller. The fan backplate couples with fans. The server array includes calculation nodes. The substrate has a multiplexer. The calculation nodes couple with the multiplexer. The first fan controller and the second fan controller couple with the calculation nodes through the multiplexer. A fan control signal is generated according to the real-time temperature of the calculation nodes to control the fans. The first fan controller and the second fan controller form a redundancy system.
