Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method of starting a computer system. The method includes rebooting a baseboard management controller of the computer system; the baseboard management controller loading a real time clock driver, wherein the real time clock driver is used for enabling a real time clock function; checking a field of a real time clock register after the real time clock driver loaded; enabling a real time clock update filed and clearing a time tag of the real time clock register if a state of the field of the real time clock register is disable; the baseboard management controller obtaining the time tag from the real time clock register; and the baseboard management controller completing a start process if the time tag is later than a predefined time.

A starting method of a computer system, the computer system comprising a baseboard management controller, the starting method comprising:
- starting a baseboard management controller of the computer system, wherein the baseboard management controller comprises a real time clock register;
- the baseboard management controller loading a real time clock driver, wherein the real time clock driver is used for enabling a real time clock function;
- checking a real time clock enable field of the real time clock register of the baseboard management controller after the real time clock driver is loaded;
- enabling a real time clock update field of the real time clock register and clearing a time tag of the real time clock register if a state of the real time clock enable field of the real time clock register is disable;
- the baseboard management controller obtaining the time tag from the real time clock register;
- and
- the baseboard management controller completing a start process if the time tag is later than a predefined time.
