  • Publication number: 20130290787
    Abstract: A method for recording managing SELs of a server includes the following steps. Periodically determining a current number of the SELs stored in a storage unit of the server. Comparing the current number with a historical number to determine newly generated SELs. If the current number is greater than the historical number, determining whether the storage unit is full. If the storage unit is full, controlling the BMC to transfer the newly generated SELs to a cache unit. The stored SELs are erased in the storage unit. Transferring the SELs in the cache unit to the storage unit when the SELs in the storage unit are erased. The historical number is updated.

  • Publication number: 20130227226
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a processor, a first storage unit, and a second storage unit. The first storage unit stores data generated by the processor in real time. The processor checks amount of storage space in use of the first storage unit, compares the current amount of used storage space of the first storage unit checked this time with a previous amount of used storage space of the first storage unit checked previously to determine whether the current amount of used storage space is greater than the previous amount of used storage space, obtains data that was stored in the storage space of the first storage unit since the previous check if the current used storage space is greater than the previously used storage space, and stores the obtained data in the second storage unit after the data is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20130173952
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an internal storage module, a baseboard management controller (BMC) and a port. The internal storage module stores a first firmware and a boot application. The port connects to an external storage for storing a second firmware which is a backup of the first firmware. After the electronic device is powered on, the BMC runs the boot application to load the first firmware from the internal storage module. If the first firmware fails to load, the BMC copies the second firmware from the external storage to the internal storage module to replace the first firmware.

  • Patent number: 8432178
    Abstract: A testing device for testing a board managing controller (BMC) of a computer motherboard including a power supply, a BMC, and a warning unit, includes a storing module, a voltage adjusting module, and a voltage displaying module. The storing module stores a preset warning voltage and an upper limit voltage larger than the preset warning voltage. The voltage adjusting module is used for adjusting the voltage of the power supply. The voltage displaying module is used for displaying the output voltage of the voltage adjusting module. It indicates the BMC works properly if the warning unit provides warning when the output voltage of the voltage adjusting module is less than the preset warning voltage, or the warning unit is silent when the output voltage of the voltage adjusting module falls between the preset warning voltage and the upper limit voltage.

  • Publication number: 20120089368
    Abstract: A method controls a computing device to perform a power cycle test by switching a power supply on or off using a power cycle test apparatus. The apparatus includes a timer, a counter, a power rectifier, and a display unit. The timer sets a test period of the power cycle test, controls the power rectifier to switch the power supply on, counts a test time of the power cycle test at the begin time of the test period, and controls the power rectifier to switch the power supply off when the test period elapses. The power rectifier transforms AC supplied by the power supply into DC when the power supply is switched on, provides the AC to the computing device to perform a power-on test process, and controls the computing device to perform a power-off test process when the power supply is switched off.
