  • Patent number: 11907073
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for data interaction between a BIOS and a BMC of a server, a device and a readable storage medium. According to the state of an IPMI link between a BIOS and a BMC, it is determined whether to perform data interaction. At the same time, whether the BMC cannot be activated due to abnormalities are determined by confirming whether the number of times of restarting the server reaches preset threshold at the BDS stage of the BIOS. When the number of times of restarting the server reaches the preset threshold and the BMC is still not activated, the BMC is determined to be abnormal. When the number of times of restarting the server has not yet reached preset threshold, the BIOS performs the action of restarting system, wherein preset threshold is confirmed by a variable self-defined inside the BIOS and may be set freely.

  • Patent number: 11641405
    Abstract: A GPU Box server cascade communication method, device, and system. The method includes: detecting an i2c communication bus through a baseboard management controller (BMC) in a powered-up GPU Box server to determine whether a next-stage GPU Box server corresponding to the GPU Box server exists, and if yes, reading an IP address and location information of the next-stage GPU Box server from the i2c communication bus by means of the BMC in the GPU Box server; and storing the IP address and the location information of the next-stage GPU Box server into a data structure of the GPU Box server so that a master control server reads the data structure of the GPU Box server, and establishing network communication with the next-stage GPU Box server according to the IP address and the location information stored in the data structure.

  • Patent number: 11140024
    Abstract: A method for monitoring and managing a rack server is provided. The method includes: editing, in a rack management controller RMC for monitoring and managing the rack server in a centralized manner, a configuration file based on configuration information regarding the numbers and positions of server nodes, node mid-planes, fan control boards, fans and power supplies in a rack; and automatically monitoring and managing, by the RMC, components based on the configuration file by the RMC automatically acquiring accurate numbers and positions of nodes and power supplies corresponding to the rack configuration to select a corresponding cooling-speed regulation curve. With the method, racks with different configurations can be dynamically monitored by modifying the configuration file including the configuration information of the rack and uploading the modified configuration file.
