Abstract: The present invention provides a server including a plurality of power supplies independent from each other, a management backplane, a first embedded management board (first EMB) and a plurality of motherboards independent from each other. The power supplies are turned on or off according to a first control signal. The management backplane is coupled to the power supplies, the first EMB and the motherboards. The first EMB has a power-controlling unit and produces the first control signal and an acknowledgement signal according to the load status, the quantity of a plurality of turned on power supplies and a power-on demand command. The motherboards respectively send out the power-on demand command and decide whether or not to power on according to the acknowledgement signal, wherein when the first EMB works, a polling mode is used to sequentially switch the connections between the first EMB and the motherboards through the management backplane.
