Abstract
A server and a server management system therefor, relating to the field of servers. The server management system is used for managing a server. The server management system may assist two CPUs to start, and may receive PCIe signals sent by the two CPUs, so as to display an operating system interface. The server management system may also send a received keyboard and mouse instruction to a CPU currently in communication with a gating switch (3) by means of a USB controller (2), thereby implementing use of the keyboard and mouse. Moreover, when the USB controller (2) performs mutual conversion between a USB signal and a PCIe signal, communication with the CPU currently in communication with the gating switch (3) may be implemented by means of a first USB interface (4).
Claims20
A server management system, comprising:
- a baseboard management control apparatus configured for receiving a PCIe signal sent by a CPU through a gating switch, sending a keyboard and mouse instruction received through a first USB interface to a CPU connected to the gating switch, and assisting the CPU connected to the gating switch in startup;
- a USB controller connected to the baseboard management control apparatus and configured for performing mutual conversion between a USB signal and a PCIe signal, so that communication between the CPU connected to the gating switch and the first USB interface is implemented;
- the gating switch connected to two CPUs of a server, the baseboard management control apparatus and the USB controller respectively, and configured for connecting a set of PCIe signals of a designated CPU of the two CPUs to the baseboard management control apparatus and connecting the other set of PCIe signals to the USB controller;
- and
- the first USB interface connected to the baseboard management control apparatus and the USB controller respectively.
