Operator node, and System Management Controller SMC；
Calculate node at least includes programmable system PSOC on the piece of System Management Bus SMbus interfaces；
SMC at least includes BMC chip；BMC chip includes multiple SMbus interfaces, each SMbus interface respectively with not
It is connected respectively by SMbus interfaces between same PSOC.
Preferably, the PSOC being connected with a SMbus interface of the BMC is two or three or four；
With the connected PSOC of a SMbus interface of the BMC pull-up resistors being connected using two address code pins or
Pull down resistor distinguishes different PSOC；
The BMC is additionally operable to：Same SMbus interfaces pair on the BMC are recognized by the information of the address code pin
The different PSOC answered.
Preferably, in addition to：Backboard；
The backboard is used for：Realize the company between two address code pins of the PSOC and pull-up resistor or pull down resistor
Connect.
Preferably, in addition to CPU；

Compared with prior art, the present invention includes：One or more calculate nodes, and System Management Controller SMC；
Calculate node at least includes programmable system PSOC on the piece of System Management Bus SMbus interfaces；SMC at least includes
BMC chip；BMC chip includes multiple SMbus interfaces, and each SMbus interface passes through between different PSOC respectively
SMbus interfaces are connected.By the solution of the present invention, because BMC chip generally comprises multiple (such as seven or eight) SMbus interfaces,
Therefore SMC can be interconnected with multiple calculate nodes, mutual with multiple calculate nodes without being realized by network exchanging chip
Even so that realizing for SMC is simpler, and reduces SMC cost.
Further, PSOC can distinguish difference using the pull-up resistor or pull down resistor of two address code pin connections
PSOC so that same SMbus interfaces can connect different PSOC on BMC.
Brief description of the drawings
The accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention is illustrated below, the accompanying drawing in embodiment is for entering one to the present invention
Step understands, is used to explain the present invention together with specification, does not constitute limiting the scope of the invention.
Fig. 1 is the system management architecture schematic diagram of traditional blade server；
Fig. 2 is the structure composition schematic diagram of the blade server of the present invention；
Fig. 3 connects multiple PSOC connection diagram for the BMC of the present invention same interface.
Embodiment
For the ease of the understanding of those skilled in the art, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, not
