Fig. 1 illustrates and is the block schematic diagram according to the computer installation of one embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 2 is the table of comparisons in order to the level of each signal of key diagram 1 embodiment.
Embodiment
Fig. 1 illustrates and is the block schematic diagram according to the computer installation of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1, computer installation 100 comprises baseboard management controller 110, System on Chip/SoC 120, control module 130 and power supply unit 140.Wherein, System on Chip/SoC 120 is electrically connected to baseboard management controller 110.Control module 130 is electrically connected to baseboard management controller 110 and System on Chip/SoC 120.Power supply unit 140 is electrically connected to control module 130.In addition, in the present embodiment, System on Chip/SoC 120 for example is a South Bridge chip, and control module 130 for example be complex programmable logic device (complex programmable logic device, CPLD).
In integrated operation, baseboard management controller 110 can output off signal S11, and with first and second schedule time be benchmark, cause off signal S11 to switch to disarmed state and effective status respectively.For instance, after off signal S11 kept first schedule time of effective status (for example: 10 milliseconds), baseboard management controller 110 can switch to disarmed state with off signal S11.Relatively, after off signal S11 kept second schedule time of disarmed state (for example: 100 milliseconds), 110 of baseboard management controllers can switch to effective status again with off signal S11.
It should be noted that working as off signal S11 switches to the process of disarmed state from effective status, baseboard management controller 110 can produce pulse signal P11 to System on Chip/SoC 120.By this, System on Chip/SoC 120 is also exported starting-up signal S12 to control module 130 according to this with received pulse signal P11.At this moment, control module 130 will receive starting-up signal S12 and off signal S11 simultaneously, and export a power control signal S13 according to this.Wherein, when the off signal S11 that receives when control module 130 was invalid, the power control signal S13 that is exported was first state.Otherwise when the off signal S11 that receives when control module 130 was effective, the power control signal S13 that is exported was second state.
For instance, if the effective status of off signal S11 is a low level, the disarmed state of off signal S11 is a high level, and the original state of off signal S11 is an effective status, then as shown in Figure 2, at the beginning, because System on Chip/SoC 120 can't be exported starting-up signal S12, therefore, control module 130 all can maintain power control signal S13 second state (high level).Relatively, Ci Shi power supply unit 140 will be in power-down state according to the power control signal S13 that is second state.
On the other hand, when off signal S11 when effective status (low level) switches to disarmed state (high level), the pulse signal P11 that System on Chip/SoC 120 will be produced according to baseboard management controller 110, and export starting-up signal S12 according to this.At this moment, control module 130 will come the state of Switching power control signal S13 according to off signal S11 state.
For instance, as shown in Figure 2, when starting-up signal S12 is output (low level), and off signal S11 is when maintaining disarmed state (high level), and control module 130 will switch to first state (low level) to power control signal S13.At this moment, power supply unit 140 will power on according to the power control signal S13 with first state (low level).
Relatively, when starting-up signal S12 is output (low level), and baseboard management controller 110 is when switching to effective status (low level) with off signal S11, and control module 130 will switch to second state (high level) to power control signal S13.At this moment, power supply unit 140 will carry out power down according to the power control signal S13 with second state (high level).Though present embodiment has been enumerated the enforcement kenel of disarmed state and effective status, but having, this area knows that usually the knowledgeable can change the enforcement kenel of disarmed state and effective status according to design, for example: disarmed state is set at low level, and effective status is set at high level.
It should be noted that therefore after starting-up signal S12 was output, the state of power control signal S13 will produce corresponding change along with the change of off signal S11 because baseboard management controller 110 can constantly switch the state of off signal S11.Relatively, power supply unit 140 also can be according to the change of power control signal S13, and alternately powers on and power down.By this, computer installation 100 will constantly re-execute the start selftest.
What deserves to be mentioned is that the number of times that baseboard management controller 110 switches the state of off signal S11 can be set to a pre-determined number by software program.Moreover computer installation 100 can be connected to a remote computer by network, with the test commencing signal that causes baseboard management controller 110 receiving remote computing machines to be sent, and begins to carry out the switching on and shutting down test according to this.Relatively, the test stop signal that baseboard management controller 110 also can the receiving remote computing machine sends, and shutdown switch machine test according to this.
In addition, baseboard management controller 110 also will be accordingly with the form of daily record, notes down and the stocking system status information, and as the supply voltage of system, whether the CPU/ internal memory has is made mistakes, the temperature of thermal sensor etc.In addition, baseboard management controller 110 is by the standby power voltage supply, so can test out the information that the record of staggering the time is made mistakes at computer installation 100.Thus, even if switching on and shutting down end of test (EOT) even test crash, the tester also can be from the stored data of baseboard management controller 110, the debug action of learning the state of system and then being correlated with.On the other hand, because present embodiment is to reach automatic switching by baseboard management controller 110, so computer installation 100 is in test phase, and the tester also need not constantly open and close system power supply by the activate key of repeated presses system.
In sum, the present invention utilizes baseboard management controller and System on Chip/SoC, controls the power control signal that is produced by control module, to cause powering on and power down that power supply unit can replace.Relatively, computer installation will constantly be carried out the switching on and shutting down test, and the result that will test is stored in the baseboard management controller.By this, the tester need not treat on the tester table next door in 24 hours, the debug action that just can learn the state of system and then be correlated with.
