Fig. 1 is the calcspar of a server under an embodiment of the method for the online adjustment fan control of server of the present invention parameter.
This kind server comprises a main frame 100, a baseboard management controller 200 (BMC) and at least one fan unit 300 (fan).The fan control speed that baseboard management controller 200 provides an additional areas to place under the test phase is shown, and can inspect, upgrade and test fan control speed table for remote control terminal 710 (for example dispel the heat researchist or firmware burning personnel).
Among this embodiment, baseboard management controller 200 is arranged in main frame 100, electrically connects fan unit 300, and is connected with a network 700 by main frame 100.Baseboard management controller 200 has one in order to the firmware parking space 210 of placing firmware (for example be one can electricity revise internal memory maybe can override internal memory).At least have a first area 211 and a second area 213 in the firmware parking space 210.Second area 211 can be for placing one second fan control speed table 212 (be generally and finish test, and the fan control that can formally use speed is shown).
Because prior art is mentioned the fan control speed table of each upgraded edition and all must be updated in the firmware of BMC chip in the mode of burning, make it increase the test period of personnel's workload and fan control speed table.So, first area 211 can repeatedly be inspected, upgrade and test the fan control speed table of this edition for remote control terminal 710 for placing one or more first fan control speed table 214 in testing.
More specifically, main frame 100 also comprises a plurality of temperature sensors 500 (temperature sensor) and a plurality of heat generating component 600.Heat generating component 600 is process chip (for example central processing unit CPU, display unit GPU etc.) or internal memory (for example biserial pin memory modules, DIMM etc.), a corresponding fan unit 300.Temperature sensor 500 lays respectively on the heat generating component 600 or near position it at least, can sense the working temperature that this heat generating component 600 is produced when running.So, baseboard management controller 200 just can be obtained the present working temperature of heat generating component 600, again according to the controlled variable of working temperature and first fan control speed table 214, control the running (for example improving the rotating speed of fan unit 300) of corresponding fan unit 300, test the usefulness of this first fan control speed table 214 whereby.
In addition, main frame 100 provides a control interface 410 in addition, and control interface 410 connects baseboard management controller 200.Remote control terminal 710 can be set the state of first area 211 and second area 211 or import the renewal controlled variable to fan control speed table via network 700 operated from a distances control interface 410.
For example, when remote control terminal 710 was assigned a setting command (for example set OEM Fan table) through control interface 410, baseboard management controller 200 carried out following setting:
Set the state of first area 211 and second area 211.
Particularly, setting command for example is 0 or 1, and wherein 0 representative is set to a disabled state with first area 211, and second area 213 is set to an activation state; 1 representative is set to an activation state with first area 211, and second area 213 is set to a disabled state.Therefore, baseboard management controller 200 will switch the state of first area 211 and second area 211 according to this setting command.
Upgrade the controlled variable of first fan control speed table.
Particularly, the controlled variable that can upgrade by the input of control interface 410 of remote control terminal 710 is to the first fan control speed table 214 of first area 211 or the second fan control speed table 212 of second area 213.Controlled variable for example is the appointment code name (table number) of fan control speed table, the appointment code name (temperature sensor number) of temperature sensor 500, the appointment code name (enablingfan number) of opening fan unit 300, raising/reduction/fan attachment tachometer value or the like.
Similarly, when remote control terminal 710 assigns one when inspecting order (for example getOEM Fan table) by control interface 410, remote control terminal 710 can be inspected the state of above-mentioned first area 211 and second area 211, and the controlled variable of first fan control speed table 214 or second fan control speed table 212.
Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, Fig. 2 is the process flow diagram of method under this embodiment of the online adjustment fan control of server of the present invention parameter.The method is carried out according to the following step:
Step (201) defines first area 211 and second area 213 in firmware parking space 210.
In this step, the firmware parking space 210 to major general's baseboard management controller 200 is divided into first area 211 and second area 213.
Step (202) provides one or more first fan control speed table 214 to first area 211.
Particularly, remote control terminal 710 can see through network 700 and utilize the control interface 410 on the main frame 100 that first fan control speed table 214 is reached in the first area 211, also can under test phase, utilize above-mentioned control interface 410 usually the controlled variable of new edition to be reached in the first fan control speed table 214, to realize the more new tool of test process.
In this step, remote control terminal 710 also can be simultaneously by control interface 410, and the first area is set to enabled status (enabling status), and second area is set to this disabled state (disabling status).At this moment, the original state of second area is empty (null).
Certainly, remote control terminal also can not need via network 700, directly sees through the state that main frame 100 upgrades controlled variable or switches first area 211 and second area 211.
Step (203) is controlled the running of a fan unit, and is adjusted better suited controlled variable according to first fan control speed table.
In this step, baseboard management controller 200 is according to the controlled variable of above-mentioned working temperature and first fan control speed table 214, control the running (for example improving the rotating speed of fan unit 300) of corresponding fan unit 300, to test the usefulness of this first fan control speed table 214.So, the tester assesses the usefulness of the controlled variable of first fan control speed table 214 just according to the operational situation of fan unit 300.If the usefulness of the controlled variable of first fan control speed table 214 is not good, the tester just can be according to the operational situation of fan unit 300, adjust the controlled variable of new edition, and be updated in the first fan control speed table 214 of first area 211, like this perseveration is till adjusting more suitably controlled variable.
Because the tester is controlled variable to the first fan control speed table 214 that upgrades new edition by network, therefore, do not need the controlled variable of new edition is burned onto in the first fan control speed table 214 of first area 211.
Step (204) judges whether to finish the test of first fan control speed table 214, if carry out step (205); Otherwise, return step (202).
Step (205) provides second fan control speed table 212 to second area 213.
After waiting to finish the test phase of first fan control speed table 214, remote control terminal 710 can use above-mentioned control interface 410 that second fan control speed table 212 is seen through a network 700 and reach second area 213, and leaves second area 212 in.Certainly, remote control terminal 710 also can directly see through main frame 100 second fan control speed table 212 is reached second area 213.Has formal controlled variable in the second fan control speed table 212.
Because second area is in disabled state at this moment, therefore, no matter whether second area 213 has second fan control speed table 212, and second fan control speed table 212 can not used by baseboard management controller 200.
Step (206) utilizes the control interface to see through the state that network switches first area and second area.
Because step (206) before, second area is in disabled state at this moment, and therefore, no matter whether second area 213 has second fan control speed table 212, and second fan control speed table 212 can not used by baseboard management controller 200.
So, remote control terminal 710 can use above-mentioned control interface 410 that first area 211 is set to disabled state, and second area 213 is set to enabled status.Certainly, remote control terminal also can directly see through the state that main frame 100 switches first area 211 and second area 211.
Step (207) baseboard management controller is according to second fan control speed table, the running of control fan unit.
In this step, baseboard management controller 200 is controlled the running (for example improving the rotating speed of fan unit 300) of corresponding fan unit 300, to reduce working temperature according to the controlled variable of above-mentioned working temperature and second fan control speed table 212.
It should be noted that, after waiting to finish the test phase of fan control speed table, even server is when selling to client outward, the firmware parking space 210 of baseboard management controller 200 still has second fan control speed table 212 and at least one first fan control speed table 214, and just first fan control speed table 214 presents the anergy setting.And control interface 410 can be carried out in work to the second fan control speed table 212 of follow-up product up-gradation, tough body renewal for remote control terminal 710.
So, the fan control speed that server of the present invention painstakingly provides an additional areas to place under the test phase is shown, so remote control terminal can be inspected, upgrade and test fan control speed table by parameter modification software.So just do not need fan control speed table to be upgraded, and then slow down firmware burning personnel's workload, the test period of shortening fan control speed table in the mode of burning, and the development time of quickening whole project.In addition, all first fan control speed table is made amendment in the test phase, the just unlikely quilt of second fan control speed table is changed and obscuring of being set repeatedly in the baseboard management controller.
The above, only for preferred embodiment of the present invention, so can not limit scope of the invention process with this, i.e. the equivalence of doing according to claims of the present invention and description changes and modification, all should still belong in the scope that patent of the present invention contains.
