Accompanying drawing explanation
Below appended graphic is a part for specification of the present invention, illustrated example embodiment of the present invention, principle of the present invention is described together with the description of appended graphic and specification.
Fig. 1 is the controlling method according to the intelligent fan of one embodiment of the invention.
[primary component symbol description]
Step S110 ~ S130: each step of the controlling method of the intelligent fan of one embodiment of the invention
Embodiment
With detailed reference to embodiments of the invention, and described embodiment's example is described in the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is the controlling method according to the intelligent fan of one embodiment of the invention.Refer to Fig. 1.This controlling method can be applied in server apparatus, but the present invention is not as limit.
In step S110, the corresponding relation of preset host board hardware configuration information and fan speed control table.This corresponding relation can be referring to following table 1, and it comprises multiple fan speed control tables, and the heat radiation kenel of the corresponding at least one group of host board hardware configuration information of each fan speed control table.In addition, quantity and the position of the fan of the corresponding to some extent effect of each fan speed control table record, and corresponding relation and fan speed control table can be stored in the storage space of basic input output system (basic input/outputsystem, BIOS).
Table 1:
The 1st group of host board hardware configuration information of table 1 comprises that the quantity of central processing unit (CPU) is 1, host board specification (advanced technology extended, the power kenel of power supply kenel ATX), desirable (optimal) single cpu, fan control table is F3, and fan usage quantity is 5.
The 2nd group of host board hardware configuration information of table 1 comprises that the quantity of CPU is 1, the power kenel of (increased) single cpu of the power supply kenel of ATX, increase, and fan control table is F1, and fan usage quantity is 5.
The 3rd group of host board hardware configuration information of table 1 comprises that the quantity of CPU is 1, the power supply kenel of ATX, the power kenel of 130 watts-4 cores-CPU, and fan control table is F5, and fan usage quantity is 7.
In the present embodiment, the 1st to the 3rd group of host board hardware configuration information is mainly to be strengthened gradually by smaller power in the power kenel of CPU, correspondingly the quantity of the fan that starts of wish be also increased to 7 from 5, effectively CPU is dispelled the heat according to this.
Refer to 4th ~ 6 groups of host board hardware configuration informations of table 1, can know and know compared to 1st ~ 3 groups of host board hardware configuration informations, power supply kenel makes power meter energy (power-meter capable into from ATX, PMC), time, be respectively F3, F1, F5 corresponding to the fan control table of 4th ~ 6 groups of hardware configuration.And F3, F1 are slightly a little different in order to represent position of fan from F5, and the quantity of the fan of institute's wish startup corresponds to respectively 5,5 and 7.
Moreover the 1st and the 4th group of host board hardware configuration information uses identical fan control table F3, the 2nd and the 5th group of host board hardware configuration information uses identical fan control table F1, and the 3rd and the 6th group of host board hardware configuration information uses identical fan control table F5.
In addition, by 7th ~ 9 groups of host board hardware configuration informations of table 1, can know and know compared to 1st ~ 3 groups of host board hardware configuration informations, the configuration quantity of central processing unit is increased to 2 by 1, is respectively F4, F2, F5 corresponding to the fan control table of 7th ~ 9 groups of host board hardware configuration informations.And F4, F2 are slightly a little different in order to represent position of fan from F5, but identical be the quantity of the fan that starts of wish be all 7.
Similarly, by 10th ~ 12 groups of host board hardware configuration informations of table 1, can know and know compared to 7th ~ 9 groups of host board hardware configuration informations, power supply kenel makes power meter energy (PMC) into from host board specification (ATX), is respectively F4, F2, F5 corresponding to the fan control table of 10th ~ 12 groups of host board hardware configuration informations.The the 7th and the 10th group of host board hardware configuration information uses identical fan control table F4, and the 8th and the 11st group of host board hardware configuration information uses identical fan control table F2, and the 9th and the 12nd group of host board hardware configuration information uses identical fan control table F5.
Referring again to Fig. 1, in step S120, in startup self-detection program, the host board hardware configuration information detecting according to basic input output system and described corresponding relation, select the fan speed control table corresponding with the host board hardware configuration information detecting.Specifically, in startup self-detection program, by complex programmable logic device (complexprogrammable logic device, or baseboard management controller (baseboard managementcontroller CPLD), BMC) the host board hardware configuration information detecting according to basic input output system and described corresponding relation, select the fan speed control table corresponding with the host board hardware configuration information detecting.
Then, in step S130, according to the operation of the fan speed control table Control Server system fan of selecting.Thus, can reduce according to the difference of actual host plate hardware configuration demand the loss of the energy.
In another embodiment, if host board hardware configuration becomes the 7th group by the 1st group of table 1, that is the quantity of CPU becomes 2 by 1, and fan control table becomes F5 by F3.Supposing has the first to the tenth fan in server apparatus, when each fan running, dispels the heat in order to the position to its place.The number of fans that fan control table F3 institute wish starts is 5, and these 5 fans are assumed to be the 3rd, the 4th, the 6th and fan to Bafeng.The number of fans that fan control table F5 institute wish starts is 7, and these 7 fans are assumed to be second and fan to Bafeng.Therefore in the time that the quantity of the CPU of host board hardware configuration becomes 2 by 1, the fan of running becomes 7 by 5, so the heat dissipation region increasing is the second position of fanning with tendencies.
Note that quantity and position that fan that fan control table records uses can change according to actual demand, the present invention is not limited with above-mentioned example.
In addition, the host board hardware configuration information in the corresponding relation that table 1 records can comprise the quantity of central processing unit, power kenel, power supply kenel, the quantity of hard disk or the quantity of expansion card of central processing unit.Relatively, in the step S120 of startup self-detection program, the detector data record of complex programmable logic device (CPLD) or baseboard management controller (BMC) also will comprise the quantity of central processing unit, power kenel, power supply kenel, the quantity of hard disk or the quantity of expansion card of central processing unit relatively.The kind that note that host board hardware configuration information of the present invention is not limited with this embodiment.
The content disclosing based on above-described embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention has following advantages at least.The first, reduce the loss of the energy according to the difference of actual host plate hardware configuration demand.The second, can use identical fan control table in host board hardware configuration on the same group not, use and control represented number of fans and the position of each fan control table.Three, in the time using the relevant fan speed control table of host board hardware configuration, can control more efficiently fan running and heat radiation.
Although the present invention discloses as above with embodiment; so it is not in order to limit the present invention; under any, in technical field, have and conventionally know the knowledgeable; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when doing a little change and retouching, therefore protection scope of the present invention is when being as the criterion of defining depending on accompanying claim.
