Abstract: A blade server that includes at least two data processing modules for receiving data and processing the received data; an exchange backboard for achieving data exchange between the data processing modules, and also for achieving data exchange between each of the data processing modules and an interconnection module; the interconnection module for achieving connection and high-speed data exchange between the data processing modules; an I/O interface module for achieving a connection between the blade server and an external network; and a management and control module for controlling the switching between the data processing modules and also for monitoring and managing the blade server. The blade server unites multiple networks such as a high-speed network, an Ethernet, a KVM network and a management network, reduces the cost for high-speed exchange, and reduces the delay for network exchange.

Abstract: The present invention provides a switcher for managing a plurality of servers and controlling at least one peripheral device, comprising: a transceiver module for transmitting a query instruction to one of the plurality of servers and receiving identification information of the server; and a matching module for receiving the identification information and matching a connection port between the switcher and the server with the server based on the identification information. With the present invention, automatic matching between a KVM switcher and servers can be achieved thus avoiding errors and delay which may occur during manual operations. Further, automatic matching can be performed after the connections between the servers and the KVM have been changed, without the need for excessive manual intervention.
