Therefore, the event signal and the inspection data signal can be transparently transmitted by the substrate management controller. The system management bus access is used. The preferred embodiment of the present invention and its functions are as follows: [Embodiment] Referring to FIG. 2, a plurality of regional motherboards 1 are combined into one. Computing system: Each regional motherboard 01 is connected to a remote management host (not shown) through a remote management link.

The regional motherboard 〇1 mainly includes a computer mainframe field, a system input/output occlusion row 4, and a remote monitoring module 50. 1G operation in the computer mainframe field is like "partial computer, including _n, system (11) ^ BIOS (, ^ Basic Input / 〇utput System 〇 or 士口口码 and (4) 伽 (10) (4) ^ in the processor and Inter-operations such as the same bridge interface (system chipset) 12.

Basically, the New Management Controller 5] can implement the special-purpose domain management on the sub-master management sub-card (Xia). The WJ is a multi-regional motherboard, and the system-level regional management controller. The baseboard management controller 51 can be connected to the host computer domain through a communication link compatible with the smart platform management interface (10), including a system pipe stream (SMBus), a serial port (Senai (4) (10)), a network interface link, or a system input. / Turn out the bus. The event monitor 52 is also connected to the host computer domain and the baseboard management controller. Detective stripping corresponds to the field from the computer host during the initialization process of the system! The specific initialization of the device f is, for example, the secret number of the Zhao, 贱Βί, (4), and transmits the event signal se to the substrate controller 51. Referring to Figure 2, in an embodiment of the invention, event monitoring 52 is primarily comprised of synchronization $521, status checker micro, and event flash lock milk. The synchronizer must receive the monitor status signal & that has been synchronized with the system timing and send it to the status checker 522. The monitoring status signal Sm can be provided by the system hardware component, the line input/revolution, and the current status (not shown). The status checker 522 is connected to the synchronizer 521 and the event flash 10 200821823 • the lock 523 to confirm whether the synchronized status signal sm is at a set voltage level 'event flash lock 523 m贞 and keep the event The weaving & is located at a specific voltage level and transmitted to the substrate management controller. The above three components of the event monitor 52 can be achieved by a circuit having a flip-flop, but the actual operation depends on the situation. Basically, if the signal already has a synchronized timing, the synchronizer 521 is not necessary in the event monitor. Figure 2B illustrates a practical example of monitoring the event monitor for the first capture. The two signals LPC-F plane and LPC-RESFJ are included in the bus bar protocol of the LPC bus bar 41. When M〇s Ο 13 is first captured by the processor 11, the LPC-FRAME is used to indicate "start bus bar execution". (starting bus transaction)", and LPC_RESET indicates the reset of the LPC bus bar 41. The system designer can limit the pressure level of the tiger to determine the state of the initialization event. In the embodiment of the present invention, if the tiger LPC-RESET voltage level is t% (HIGH) and the LPC-FRAME voltage level is low (LOW) (actual monitoring LPC-FRAME# and LPC-RESET*), two The signal with a specific voltage level will be confirmed by the status checker 522 and processed by the event latch with or without the R-gate and a flip-flop. The event signal needs to be limited to the status signal. A specific voltage level (bits to indicate the occurrence or absence of a particular event. For a PCI-based system round-in/output bus, event monitor 52 still monitors the initial BIOS capture event by a similar method to the LPC bus. The associated signals and states depend on the embodiment. The type of system input/output bus and system chips utilized in the actual application will give different definitions to the signal state of the initialization event. Even initialization events may be different. An nVIDIA chip (eg CK804, .MCP155) can retrieve initialization information from some specific BIOS before the initial BIOS capture initialization event. Again, the same signal will be used for different monitoring tasks.

The remaining inspection data is transmitted to the substrate management controller 51 as the inspection data signal Ss. Figure 2C shows an example of a decoder. In Figure 2, the bus interface monitors the input/output bus's transactions. The comparator compares the current address with the target address of the stored data, and then generates a data flash enable signal. The bus interface also generates a data valid (datavaHd) signal based on the bus protocol of the system input/output bus. (If the current data is inspection data, it can be locked by the event flash locker 52 as an event.) In addition to remote management, the decoder can still be connected to an indicator 31 to display the inspection data thereon. Finally, through the baseboard management controller-5, the remote management host can retrieve the set event of the system initialization _8 checkpoint Wei check. This monitor allows the user to monitor any required initialization events. Please refer to Figure 3. In practical applications, the baseboard management controller 51 has a limited universal input/output (GPIO, Genera丨pu, e input/〇u(10)) pin to receive the event signal & and check the data signal Se ' but may still be insufficient to receive All signals. A simple method is to install an external universal wheel output device 54 to provide sufficient universal wheel output pin to the event signal Se and to check the data signal, for example, the universal input wheel or the "remaining input wheel" Na, who is out of the foot. Then, the substrate management module μ and the universal input 12 200821823 output device 54 are connected to the system management chipset 12 event system from the computer host field Κ), and the Se data and the data are transmitted to the general purpose. The input and output device 54 is taken by the substrate management controller 5 through the system management bus c. Cup reading 4, another solution for the limited universal input and output pins of the substrate management controller, for installing an additional bus multiplexer (Μυχ) % connected to the substrate management control state, event k viewer 52 And between decoders %. The event signal heart and the check data signal heart will be transmitted to the bus multiplexer 55. The weaving bus multiplexer 55 selects a type of information from the event signal Se and the inspection data signal sc to the substrate control signal according to the control signal Ss from the substrate management control unit 1 to select the signal & The selection logic within the <1>1 can be transmitted by the baseboard management controller 51 in accordance with the command of the remote management host or the baseboard controller. Figure 5 is a detailed diagram of the actual application of the main board G1 in the area of Figure 4. Four additional event monitors 52 are included in the remote monitoring module 50. One is connected to the system chip, the button 12 is connected to the power supply 15; the other is connected to the lPC bus bar 41 and the status monitor 丨6. The system chipset 12 can provide a "power-on" sequence from the power rectifier (not shown) or the power supply port. The status checker 16 is generally provided. The general hardware inspection _ materials are inspected by I Wei temperature and fan information signal. Some power supplies with power controllers can generate one or more status signals. And (4) Prerequisites, some rll ^#ts«(bus reset releas^j A part of the busbar agreement of the busbar 40. In this case, the event monitor 52 can collect the signal of the online initial process to the baseboard management controller 5 The data of the decoder 53 is checked, and the remote monitoring module can be almost 13 200821823. In the pure initialization process, each event occurs immediately on the regional board G1. The substrate management control can be connected to the network interface. , for example, the network interface controller d • NetW〇rk Interface C_roih) and the regional network communication network (LA^ to transmit the above signals to the remote through a remote management link (such as a regional network) End management host. Of course, in system initialization In the case of Cheng Zhifei 8 (track s), the decoder of the remote monitoring module can be omitted.
