Detailed Description
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, as an embodiment that can be realized by the present invention, there is provided a method for testing a server power supply overvoltage protection function, the method including the following implementation procedures:
1) Confirming a connection state of the power module, the process comprising: the power supply module is electrified to ensure that the physical communication link between the upper computer and the module is well connected and the module outputs normally; the data is read by the upper computer, so that the power module is ensured to be in a normal state.
The definition of the normal state mainly refers to whether overvoltage protection occurs, and the state without overvoltage protection is the normal state.
2) Sending an instruction to reduce the protection threshold of the OVP part, wherein the issued command can be properly adjusted according to different items in the process, and the principle is to be compatible with the PMBusV1.2 standard, namely, the command defined by the PMBus standard is not occupied, and the command conforms to the read-write operation standard and meets the transmission operation of data reading and writing.
The requirements for reduction in this process are: firstly, acquiring a preset threshold value; then, multiplying the preset threshold by an adjustment coefficient X, wherein the value of the adjustment coefficient X is as follows: 0.9 ≦ X <1; and finally, modifying the protection threshold value into a calculated value.
It should be noted that although the range of the adjustment coefficient is set to 0.9 ≦ X <1, in practical operation, a fixed coefficient value may be preset, and generally, the value is greater than 0.95, and preferably, three values, i.e., 0.97, 0.98, and 0.99, are selected.
In order to ensure that the OVP logic of the power supply can be triggered without causing false triggering of other protection logics, the adjusted protection threshold needs to be checked, and the main principle is as follows: and after the protection threshold is modified, inquiring the maximum value of the voltage threshold in other modules, comparing the protection threshold with the searched voltage threshold, and when the modified protection threshold is smaller than the searched voltage threshold, adjusting the modified protection threshold to be larger than the searched voltage threshold.
In the above checking process, for the protection threshold that needs to be readjusted, a general adjustment manner is to multiply a coefficient, such as 1.1 or 1.2, by the searched voltage threshold, and then determine whether the value is smaller than the preset protection threshold, and when the recalculated protection threshold is still larger than the preset protection threshold, the multiplied coefficient may be reduced to a value such as 1.05.
4) Whether overvoltage protection occurs or not is detected, a server power supply needs to be started in the process, voltage is loaded, and then OVP protection is confirmed to occur through the output of a power supply module, the indication condition of an indicator lamp, the alert signal condition and the condition that an upper computer reads the state of the power supply module. If no overvoltage protection occurs, the power supply circuit has problems, and detailed maintenance operation needs to be carried out on the power supply module.
5) And sending an instruction to recover the protection threshold value of the OVP part, wherein the process recovers the OVP protection threshold value to an initial value through a command.
The above process has substantially completed the detection of the overvoltage protection, but in order to further confirm the condition of the power module, the detection result of the above process needs to be reviewed, and the review process is implemented by the following subsequent steps:
6) And detecting whether overvoltage protection occurs again, wherein power failure and power re-up are needed in the process, then detecting whether the power module is in a normal state, if the power module is in the normal state, the power module has no problem, the overvoltage protection function is normal, and if overvoltage protection still occurs, the circuit of the power module is in a fault, and further maintenance is needed.
Corresponding to the method, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a device for testing an overvoltage protection function of a server power supply, and referring to fig. 2, the device includes an adjustment module, a monitoring module, and a recovery module.
The adjusting module is used for issuing an instruction to reduce the protection threshold of the OVP part, and in order to realize the function, the adjusting module adopts a plurality of units to realize specific operation, and the included units and the functions thereof are specifically as follows:
first, an obtaining unit is used to obtain a preset threshold.
After the preset threshold value is obtained, the calculation unit multiplies the preset threshold value by the adjustment coefficient X to obtain an adjusted threshold value. Wherein, the value of the adjusting coefficient X is as follows: 0.9 ≦ X <1, preferably 0.97, 0.98 and 0.99.
And for the calculated value, the first adjusting unit is responsible for modifying the protection threshold value into the calculated value.
In order to prevent other modules from triggering overvoltage protection, the modified value needs to be checked, and the following units are adopted to realize the following steps:
and inquiring the value with the maximum voltage threshold value in other modules by utilizing a searching unit, then comparing the values output by the searching unit and the calculating unit by utilizing a comparing unit based on the obtained value, and adjusting the protection threshold value to be larger than the searched voltage threshold value when the value output by the calculating unit is smaller than the value output by the searching unit.
For the protection threshold that needs to be readjusted, a general adjustment manner is to multiply a coefficient, such as 1.1 or 1.2, by the searched voltage threshold, and then determine whether the value is smaller than the preset protection threshold, and when the recalculated protection threshold is still larger than the preset protection threshold, the multiplied coefficient may be reduced to a value such as 1.05.
After the adjustment is completed, whether overvoltage protection occurs or not can be detected and fed back by using the monitoring module, and in the detection process, OVP protection is confirmed to occur through the output of the power supply module, the indicating condition of the indicating lamp, the alert signal condition and the condition that the upper computer reads the state of the power supply module.
Although the detection of the overvoltage protection is substantially completed after the detection is completed, in order to further confirm the condition of the power module, the detection result needs to be reviewed, so that the threshold modified by the adjusting module is restored to the original value by using the restoring module, and then the detection of the overvoltage protection is performed by using the detecting module again.
It should be noted that the power module needs to be powered up again before the detection module is used again to detect.
The process of testing the PEF750-12-054NA power module by combining the above principle is as follows:
aiming at a PEF750-12-054NA power module, the normal output voltage is 12V, the corresponding protection threshold value is modified to 11.76V by issuing a command (CMD =0x 4D), the value is not found to be checked by the voltage threshold values of other modules, the test finds that the OVP function of the power module can be started as expected (the power output Latch, SMB _ Alert signal is pulled low, and the communication state word shows that the power supply outputs an overvoltage state), and after the test is finished, the command is issued to recover the corresponding protection threshold value.
The foregoing are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention, which enable those skilled in the art to understand or practice the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
