Computer start-up system, computer start-up method, and computer start-up program

A computer start-up method of executing an initialization of at least one expansion card for a computer start-up system comprising the at least one expansion card mounted on a main body unit of a computer and an initialization executing device for initializing the expansion card by executing, at a time of power-on of the main body unit, an initialization command which is set in accordance with the expansion card,

• wherein the main body unit comprises:
• a common command storing device for storing a common command which is set in advance as an initialization command common to expansion cards performing a same type of operational function and card types set to be a group by a specific criteria among the expansion cards;
• an execution processing control device for allowing the initialization executing device to execute the common command;
• and a history information storing device for storing card identification information which indicates an initialized state of the expand card, the computer start-up method comprising:
• at the time of power-on of the main body unit
• recognizing the card identification information of each expansion card;
• allowing the execution processing control device to execute the initialization command storing in advance in the expansion card when the recognized card identification information of each expansion card is not stored in the common command storing device and the history information storing device;
• and
• inhibiting the execution processing control device from executing the initialization command when the card identification information is stored in the common command storing device and the history information storing device.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a computer start-up program for executing an initialization of at least one expansion card for a computer start-up system comprising the at least one expansion card mounted on a main body unit of a computer and an initialization executing device for initializing the expansion card by executing, at a time of power-on of the main body unit, an initialization command which is set in accordance with the expansion card,

• wherein the main body unit comprises:
• a common command storing device for storing a common command which is set in advance as an initialization command common to expansion cards performing a same type of operational function and card types set to be a group by a specific criteria among the expansion cards;
• an execution processing control device for allowing the initialization executing device to execute the common command;
• and a history information storing device for storing card identification information which indicates an initialized state of the expand card, the program causing a computer provided to the main body unit to execute a method comprising:
• at the time of power-on of the main body unit,
• recognizing the card identification information of each expansion card;
• allowing the execution processing control device to execute the initialization command storing in advance in the expansion card when the recognized card identification information of each expansion card is not stored in the common command storing device and the history information storing device;
• and
• inhibiting the execution processing control device from executing the initialization command when the card identification information is stored in the common command storing device and the history information storing device.

A computer start-up system comprising:

• at least one expansion card mounted on a main body unit of a computer;
• and
• initialization executing means for initializing the expansion card by executing, at a time of power-on of the main body unit, an initialization command which is set in accordance with the expansion card;
• wherein
• the main body unit comprises:
• common command storing means for storing a common command which is an initialization command common to expansion cards performing a same type of operational functions and card types set to be a group by a specified criteria among the expansion cards;
• execution processing control means for identifying the specific card type of each expansion card at the time of power-on of the main body unit and initializing the expansion cards of the specific card type by executing the common command;
• and
• history information storing means for storing card identification information which indicates the expansion card initialized by execution of the common command;
• wherein
• the execution processing control means includes an initialization execution control function for recognizing the card identification information at each expansion card, allowing the initialization executing device to execute the initialization command stored in advance in the expansion card when the recognized card identification information of each expansion card is not stored in the common command storing device and the history information storing device, and inhibiting the initialization executing device from executing the initialization command when the card identification information is stored in the common command storing device and the history information storing device.
