Abstract: A method for controlling a serial port information of a server host is provided. At first, a basic input/output system of the server host is activated. Then the BIOS reads a first port state value of a first input/output port of a MOS chip. Then an information output state of a serial port of a server host is determined according to the first port state value of the first input/output port, wherein the information output state is related to whether to output information of the serial port.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a temperature controlling method for a server, a baseboard management controller and a server temperature controlling system. The method is applied to the baseboard management controller and the server comprises a management engine and a fan. The method comprises obtaining a server temperature information collected by the management engine and controlling the fan according to the server temperature information when the management engine is in a normal state; and collecting the sever temperature information and controlling the fan according to the server temperature information when the management engine is in an abnormal state. The temperature controlling method for the server, the baseboard management controller, and the server temperature controlling system can collect the server temperature in real time for controlling the server temperature without being affected by the working state of the management engine.

Abstract: A method for automatically configuring a PCIe slot comprises: writing a configuration value into a storage device, with the configuration value associated with a configuration manner of the PCIE slot, reading the configuration value from the storage device by a BIOS, and determining whether the configuration value belongs to a valid value set, the BIOS configures a data bandwidth of the PCIe slot according to the configuration value when the configuration value belongs to a valid value set, and the BIOS configures the data bandwidth of the PCIe slot according to a default value when the configuration values does not belong to the valid value set.

Abstract: A power consumption control technique configures an adjustable range for a frequency of an uncore of a CPU of a computing system so as to determine a power-consumption managing policy for the uncore to be operated at the frequency within the adjustable range, under the situation of independency of frequency-modulating functions individually for the core and the uncore of the CPU of the computing system. The adjustable range for the frequency of the uncore is particularly set by utilizing a BIOS (Basic input/output system) program of the computing system.

Abstract: A server system is disclosed herein, which comprises a first BIOS (Basic Input/Output System chip, a second BIOS chip, a baseboard management controller (BMC) and a platform controller. In a preset mode, the platform controller is conductively connected with the first BIOS chip through the BMC and the multiplexer so that the server system is activated by the first BIOS chip. Upon detecting a failure of a POST (Power-on self-test) initialization of the first BIOS chip, the BMC transmits a control command to the multiplexer so as to make the platform controller conductively connecting with the second BIOS chip through the BMC and the multiplexer so that the server system is activated by the second BIOS chip.

Abstract: A server system is disclosed herein, which includes a first BIOS chip, a second BIOS chip, a platform controller, and a baseboard management controller. The platform controller and the baseboard management controller are electrically connected to a first multi-way selector and a second multi-way selector, respectively. The first multi-way selector and the second multi-way selector are individually electrically connected to both the first BIOS chip and the second BIOS chip. The disclosure can accomplish an aspect that when either of the first BIOS chip and the second BIOS chip fails in activating the server system, the server system can be automatically activated by the other BIOS chip. Further, by the baseboard management controller, a firmware of the fail-to-activate BIOS chip can be simultaneously updated, thereby improving security and reliability of the server system.

Abstract: A method of powering on a server is provided, wherein the server includes power consumption modules with the same functions, connectors, and a BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). The power consumption modules are connected to the server via the connectors respectively. This method includes the steps as follows. At first, the BIOS detects a delay power-up setting. When the delay power-up setting is detected, the BIOS staggers initialization times of the connectors, so that the connectors can be initialized respectively. When one of the connectors has been initialized, the connector is electrically connected to the corresponding power consumption module, so that the power consumption module can be delayed to be powered on.
