Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram of one embodiment of the invention computer installation 100.Please with reference to Fig. 1, computer installation 100 comprises the extensible adapter 110 and motherboard 160 that present embodiment provides.Wherein, extensible adapter 110 comprises expansion interface 120, control module 130, connector 140 and first internal memory 150.Expansion interface 120 is in order to receive a signal.In the present embodiment, expansion interface 120 can be a network interface, but does not limit its scope, and this network interface can be used to receive a network signal.
In addition, control module 130 comprises network transformer 131, Physical layer (Physical Layer, PHY) unit 132 and oscillator 133.Network transformer 131 connects expansion interface 120, in order to receive and to change said network signal.Physical layer element 132 connects network transformer 131, in order to receive and to handle said network signal.Oscillator 133 connects physical layer element 132, in order to provide oscillator signal as system clock.
Motherboard 160 comprises central processing unit (Central Processing Unit; CPU) 161, chipset 162, basic input-output system unit 163, baseboard management controller (Board ManagementController, BMC) 164, selector switch 165 and second internal memory 166.Chipset 162 comprises interconnective north bridge chips 171 and South Bridge chip 172.Baseboard management controller 164 connects the connector 140 and second internal memory 166.Selector switch 165 connects second internal memory 166 and baseboard management controller 164, and the situation that is connected of detecting extensible adapter 110 and motherboard 160 produces a detection signal.Selector switch 165 connects second internal memory 166 and baseboard management controller 164, and receives said detection signal.Second internal memory 166 is in order to store second Basic Input or Output System (BIOS).
In the action of computer installation 100, baseboard management controller 164 can detecting extensible adapters 110 and the situation that is connected of motherboard 160.In case when baseboard management controller 164 detected extensible adapter 110 through connector 140 connection motherboards 160, baseboard management controller 164 can produce detection signal DS1 and also be sent to selector switch 165.Selector switch 165 then can be forbidden or enables first Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of coupled first internal memory 150 that connects and second Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of second internal memory 166 according to detection signal DS1.Further; When selector switch 165 received detection signal DS1 are when representing that extensible adapter 110 and motherboard 160 interconnect; 165 of selector switchs can be forbidden second Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) that second internal memory 166 is stored, and enable the first stored Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of first internal memory 150 of extensible adapter 110.Opposite; When selector switch 165 received detection signal DS1 are expression extensible adapters 110 when not interconnecting with motherboard 160, the second stored Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of second internal memory 166 that just exists originally on 165 enabled hosts plates 160 of selector switch.
Can learn by above-mentioned explanation; In case when extensible adapter 110 was connected to motherboard 160, computer installation 100 can utilize selector switch 165 to select for use the first stored Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of first internal memory 150 of extensible adapter 110 to replace the second stored Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of second internal memory 166 originally.In other words; When computer installation 100 is connected to motherboard 160 at extensible adapter 110; Change and use the basis of design of first internal memory 150 as peripheral interface; Thus, the user just can be provided with the content of the first stored Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of first internal memory 150 according to the individual, makes computer installation 100 corresponding different user demand come work.
What deserves to be mentioned is that the content of second Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) that the content of first Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) that first internal memory 150 is stored and second internal memory 166 are stored is different.That is to say, do not writing down the function of extensible adapter 110 in the content of second Basic Input or Output System (BIOS).Therefore, when extensible adapter 110 was not connected with motherboard 160, computer installation 100 can't use the function of extensible adapter 110.Opposite, when interconnecting as if extensible adapter 110 and motherboard 160,100 of computer installations can be selected first Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of first internal memory 150 for use, so that the function of using extensible adapter 110 to be provided.Thus, just visual its demand of user and determine whether to select for use extensible adapter 110 to promote the usefulness of computer installation 100 is so can increase the convenience in the use.
In the present embodiment, first internal memory 150 of extensible adapter 110 can be SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface, flash memory SPI) (Flash Memory) with second internal memory 166 of motherboard 160.And extensible adapter 110 can be IPMI (IntelligentPlatform Management Interface, IPMI) card.
In addition, selector switch 165 also comprises switch 181 and pull-up circuit 182.Switch 181 can be controlled by detection signal DS1, and switch 181 is connected between second internal memory 166 and the connector 140.And pull-up circuit 182 connects the switch 181 and second internal memory 166.
About computer installation 100; When extensible adapter 110 connects motherboard 160 through connector 140; The baseboard management controller 164 of computer installation 100 detects extensible adapter 110 with motherboard 160 interconnective situation and produce detection signal DS1, makes switch 181 not conductings.At this moment, the path that connects between the two ends of switch 181 is cut off, and the level of node a then can be pulled up to the voltage quasi position (for example being logic high) that equals reference voltage VDD by the pull-up resistor R1 in the pull-up circuit 182.Therefore, second Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of second internal memory 166 is under an embargo.So computer installation 100 just can be selected first Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of first internal memory 150 for use, so that the function of using extensible adapter 110 to be provided.
In addition, when extensible adapter 110 was detached out motherboard 160, the baseboard management controller 164 of computer installation 100 transmitted detection signal DS1 and actuating switch 181.At this moment, the path conducting that connects between switch 181 two ends makes second Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of second internal memory 166 be enabled.Therefore, computer installation 100 just can use second Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of second internal memory 166.
What deserves to be mentioned is that the mode that the pull-up circuit of in the embodiment of computer installation 100, being mentioned 182 utilizes pull-up resistor R1 to implement is one and implements example, not limit the present invention.
In sum, the present invention is with on expansion interface, control module and the extensible adapter of first memory configurations outside motherboard.And; First stored has first Basic Input or Output System (BIOS); And when this extensible adapter is connected to motherboard; Computer installation just can be selected first Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of first internal memory for use, so that use the function on the extensible adapter, and provides the user to use upward different demands in computer installation effectively.Thus, extensible adapter provided by the present invention just can effectively increase the flexibility ratio of computer installation, and then promotes the usefulness of computer installation.
What should explain at last is: above embodiment is only in order to technical scheme of the present invention to be described but not limit it; Although the present invention has been carried out detailed explanation with reference to preferred embodiment; Those of ordinary skill in the art is to be understood that: it still can make amendment or be equal to replacement technical scheme of the present invention, also can not make amended technical scheme break away from the spirit and the scope of technical scheme of the present invention and these are revised or be equal to replacement.
