  • Publication number: 20120023320
    Abstract: A computer having a BIOS recovery function includes a baseboard management controller (BMC) circuit, a main control circuit, a switching module and a BIOS chip. The switching module is connected to the BMC circuit and the main control circuit. The BIOS chip stores BIOS programs for the computer and is selectively connected to the BMC circuit and main control circuit by the switching module. When the BIOS programs are corrupted, the switching module selects the BMC circuit to communicate with the BIOS chip. New BIOS programs can be sent to the BIOS chip to update the corrupted BIOS programs.

  • Publication number: 20060200275
    Abstract: An apparatus for regulating temperature of a central processing unit (CPU) (10) includes a temperature sensor (11), a timer interruption generator (12), a timer interruption processing module (13), and a temperature monitor (14). The temperature sensor is used for obtaining a current temperature of the CPU, and transforming the current temperature into corresponding temperature parameters. The timer interruption generator is used for setting a time interval, and generating a timer interruption signal at each time interval. The timer interruption processing module is used for calculating an appropriate temperature value according to the temperature parameters from the temperature sensor when the timer interruption signal is received from the timer interruption generator. The temperature monitor is used for automatically regulating the current temperature of the CPU according to the calculated temperature value. A related method is also disclosed.
