step 1, a user accesses an upper computer into a local area network to acquire a server IP, at the moment, the user can acquire the IP address of a network chip on a unique IP network card, and after network connection is successful, an instruction is input to carry out management access;

step 2, a control instruction is forwarded to the MB_BMC through a path of local area network- > QSFP- > network card- > NCSI bus- > MB_BMC sharing port, and the MB_BMC performs instruction identification;

step 3, after receiving and identifying the control instruction, the MB_BMC judges whether to control the management server or the GPU BOX:

if the control command is a control server, executing the received control command, wherein the user can continue to manage the server through the interactive interface;

if the control GPU BOX is the control GPU BOX, the MB_BMC transfers the received instruction to the GPU_BMC through the path of an MB_BMC management port- > RJ45- > 1- > P1- > P2- > GPU_BMC management port (namely, port 2 of the GPU_BMC shown in fig. 1), so that the quick forwarding of the control instruction is realized.

And 5, after receiving the feedback instruction, the MB_BMC decodes, checks and recodes the data, and after confirming that the information is correct, realizes one-time information interaction through a path of 'MB_BMC sharing- > NCSI bus- > network card- > QSFP- > local area network- > upper computer (user').
