  • Patent number: 8930517
    Abstract: A server rack system is provided, which includes a rack, a rack management module, a plurality of servers, and a management network connection module. The rack management module is located in the rack and coupled to a management network line (MNL). The servers are located in the rack. Each server includes a baseboard management controller (BMC), and each BMC is used to monitor a working status of the server where the BMC is located. The management network connection module is located in the rack and coupled to the MNL to be connected to the rack management module and the BMC through the MNL. The rack management module is used to allocate an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the BMC and manage each server through the BMC corresponding to each IP address.

    Abstract: A server rack system includes a rack, a rack management module, a plurality of servers, a management network connection module and a power module. The rack management module is located in the rack and coupled to a management network line. The servers are located in the rack and respectively have a baseboard management controller (BMC), in which each of the BMCs is used for monitoring a working state of the server where the BMC resides. The power module provides a working voltage required by the rack management module, the management network connection module and the servers. The rack management module obtains overall power consumption information through the power module, and obtains power consumption information of each of the servers through the management network line, and is used for managing the servers according to the overall power consumption information and the power consumption information of each of the servers.

  • Publication number: 20130138804
    Abstract: A server rack system includes a rack, a rack management module, a plurality of servers, a management network connection module, and an identification module. The rack management module is located in the rack and is coupled to a management network line. Each server is respectively plugged in the rack, and respectively has a baseboard management controller (BMC) used to monitor a working state of the server. The management network connection module is located in the rack and used to connect the rack management module and the BMCs through the management network line. The identification module is located in the rack, so as to enable the corresponding server to generate an identification code signal. The rack management module identifies a physical position of each server in the rack according to the identification code signal of each server and a corresponding relation record between the identification code signal and the physical position.
