Abstract: In a method for managing an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus of a server, a bus flag is set for the I2C bus using a BMC. When the BMC requires to detect a temperature of a memory of the server, the temperature is detected by accessing a SPD chip of the server through the I2C bus if a value of the bus flag is a first value. The value of the bus flag is changed to a second value when the memory requires to be initialized by a BIOS, and a delay for a predetermined time period occurs. Configuration information of the memory is acquired by the BIOS from the SPD chip through the I2C bus when the predetermined time period is elapsed, and the memory is initialized by the BIOS according to the configuration information. The value is reset to the first value after the memory is initialized.
