Detailed Description
Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail below.
Example 1
The LED display screen is additionally arranged on the case, and can be used for displaying LOGO information of customers, abnormal alarm information and the like.
On a hardware circuit, as shown in fig. 1, a motherboard memory interface and an LED controller are added, and a memory interface, such as an SD or Mini MMC interface, is connected to the BMC, so that a user can conveniently insert a similar SD card, and the modified BMC firmware can mount (mount) the card. The mainboard storage interface is respectively connected with the LED controller, the BMC of the server mainboard and the BIOS; the BIOS controls the display of the LED display screen through the LED controller; and modifying the BMC firmware to enable the BMC firmware to mount a memory card connected with the mainboard storage interface, wherein a tool for burning a BIOS startup LOGO is solidified in the BIOS firmware.
