Therefore, how to propose a kind of fan speed controlling device of server,, become the problem that present industry is demanded urgently overcoming in fact to overcome many shortcomings of above-mentioned background technology.
Summary of the invention
Shortcoming in view of above-mentioned prior art; The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of fan speed controlling device of server; Its existing hardware framework that utilizes server is still can obtaining the rotating speed of a plurality of fans under the not enough situation of the input pin of effective solution baseboard management controller, and then the economize on hardware cost.
For reaching above-mentioned and other purpose, the present invention provides a kind of fan speed controlling device of server, comprising: first group of fan; Second group of fan, administration module, and control module; This first group of fan has at least one fan, and respectively this fan is exported a fan rotating speed signals respectively according to actual speed; This second group of fan has at least one fan, and respectively this fan is exported a fan rotating speed signals respectively according to actual speed; This administration module has a plurality of first input ends and a plurality of first output terminal; This administration module receives a control signal, respectively this first input end receive respectively respectively this fan rotating speed signals and respectively this first output terminal according to this control signal timesharing output this fan rotating speed signals respectively; This control module has a plurality of second input ends and a control end; This controls signal to this administration module this control end output; Respectively this second input end is connected with this first output terminal respectively respectively, and respectively this second input end receives respectively this fan rotating speed signals according to this control signal timesharing, wherein; When this control signal was first state, respectively this second input end received the fan rotating speed signals of this first group of fan output; When this control signal was second state, respectively this second input end received the fan rotating speed signals of this second group of fan output, to adjust the respectively rotating speed of this fan in real time according to said fan rotating speed signals.
In the fan speed controlling device of server of the present invention, this administration module is complex programmable logic assembly (complex programmable logic devices; CPLD); This control module is baseboard management controller (Baseboard Management Controller; BMC).
This control signal is switched respectively respectively this fan rotating speed signals of this second input end reception.First state of this control signal is a high level, and second state of this control signal is a low level.
The present invention can realize that server still can obtain a plurality of rotation speeds of the fan being subject under the input pin quantity of this baseboard management controller through the running configuration between configuration CPLD and baseboard management controller; Need not extra increase hardware structure in server system; Thereby it is cost-saved; And can effectively obtain rotation speed of the fan, so that it is controlled and be beneficial to system radiating.
