Abstract
A peripheral component interface-express (PCI-E) standard selection setting system and microserver are disclosed, in which a selection controller selects an arrangement setting in storage elements to arrange the PCI-E control chip, whereby each of the second PCI-E standard ports is or is not arranged as an upstream PCI-E standard port, so that a single PCI-E standard control chip may arrange one of the multitude of PCI-E standard ports as an upstream PCI-E standard port, so that the upstream PCI-E standard port may have a data transmission with one of the multitude of system on chips (SOCs) connected with the PCI-E standard control chip.
Claims15
A microserver, comprising:
- a system on chip (SOC), each having a first peripheral component interface-express (PCI-E) port;
- a PCI-E control chip, having a plurality of second PCI-E ports each electrically connected to the first PCI-E port corresponding thereto, and generating a first selection signal;
- a storage element, each electrically connected to the PCI-E control chip, and having an arrangement setting stored therein;
- and
- a selection controller, receiving the first selection signal to generate a plurality of second selection signals,
- wherein the each of the plurality of second selection signals corresponds to a corresponding one of the storage element to control the arrangement setting stored in the storage element to arrange the PCI-E control chip, the arrangement setting selecting to arrange only one of the plurality of second PCI-E ports as an upstream PCI-E port and the upstream PCI-E port being electrically connected to the first PCI-E port for data transmission therebetween.

- a PCI-E control chip, having a plurality of second PCI-E ports each electrically connected to the first PCI-E port corresponding thereto, and generating a first selection signal;
- a storage element, each electrically connected to the PCI-E control chip and having an arrangement setting stored therein;
- and
- a selection controller, each electrically connected to each of the SOC to receives the first selection signal and a control signal generated by each of the SOC to generate the plurality of second selection signals each corresponding to one of the SOC,
- wherein the each of the plurality of second selection signals corresponds to a corresponding one of the storage element to control the arrangement setting stored in the storage element to arrange the PCI-E control chip, the arrangement setting selecting to arrange only one of the plurality of second PCI-E ports as an upstream PCI-E port and the upstream PCI-E port being electrically connected to the first PCI-E port for data transmission therebetween.
