It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant invention and not restrictive of the invention. It should be noted that, for convenience of description, only the portions related to the related invention are shown in the drawings.
The application provides a data storage device, which can directly send the working state parameters of a data storage component in the data storage device to a management control chip in a mainboard when the data storage device is connected with the mainboard in a computer system through an interface.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a data storage device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the data storage device 1 includes a data storage component 11, a storage control chip 12, and a first interface 13.
The data storage component 11 is used for implementing data reading and saving, and specifically comprises a data storage medium and a reading and saving component for storing data to the data storage medium; the data storage medium and the storing and reading component are matched to realize the storing and reading of the data. In specific implementation, the data storage component 11 may be a mechanical storage component which is widely used in the field, or may be a solid storage component which is used in some application fields.
The mechanical storage assembly may be one of a disk storage assembly and a tape storage assembly. When the mechanical storage component is a magnetic disk storage component, the mechanical storage component comprises a disk, a motor for driving the disk to rotate and a storage and reading magnetic head; in the case where the mechanical storage assembly is a tape storage assembly, it includes a tape, a motor to drive the winding of the tape, and a read/write head. The solid-state storage component comprises a plurality of storage chips and a control component for cooperatively processing the work of each storage chip.
The storage control chip 12 is configured to determine a working mode of the data storage component 11 according to a data type, a data size, and a data storage location that need to be stored and read, control a data storage and reading rate, and monitor a working state parameter of the data storage component 11, specifically, a temperature parameter of the data storage component 11.
The first interface 13 is used to connect the data storage device to the motherboard and to enable normal data transfer between the motherboard components and the data storage device 1. In specific applications, common forms of the first interface 13 include a gold finger interface, a pin interface, and the like, which can quickly implement plug connection.
The first interface 13 includes a first Inter-Integrated Circuit sub-interface 131 (I2C), and the first Inter-Integrated Circuit sub-interface 131 is directly connected to the memory control chip 12. When the first interface 13 is connected to a corresponding interface on the motherboard 2, the first inter-integrated circuit sub-interface 131 is connected to an inter-integrated circuit sub-interface in the corresponding interface, and sends the operating state parameters acquired by the storage control chip 12 to the management control chip 22 under the control of the management control chip 22 on the motherboard 2.
That is, the data storage device provided in the embodiment of the present application directly transmits the data to the management control chip 22 of the motherboard 2 through the first internal integrated circuit sub-interface 131 in the first interface 13; the management control chip 22 can adjust the operating characteristics of the motherboard 2 or the entire computer system according to the operating state parameters without directly obtaining the operating state parameters of the data storage component 11 through other paths.
Referring to fig. 1, in the data storage device according to the present embodiment, the first interface 13 further includes a first data transmission sub-interface 132. The first data transmission sub-interface 132 is connected to the data storage component 11 or the storage control chip 12, and realizes mutual transmission between the main board and the data storage device. In a specific embodiment, the first data transmission sub-interface 132 is preferably configured to be connected to the storage controller chip 12, so that the storage controller chip 12 performs operations such as verification of transmitted data, optimization of data storage location, and the like.
Currently, the data transmission interface types that have been commercialized are Serial Advanced Technology Attachment interface (SATA), mini Serial Advanced Technology Attachment interface (MiniSATA), Advanced Technology Attachment interface (ATA), and Enterprise and database solid state disk Form parameter interface (EDSFF), so the first data transmission sub-interface 132 may be one of the aforementioned data transmission interfaces that have been commercialized. Of course, the first data transmission interface may also be other interfaces that do not become a commercial standard or that may be applied in subsequent technological evolution.
The embodiment of the application also provides a computer system adopting the data storage device besides the data storage device. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the computer system includes a motherboard 2 in addition to the aforementioned data storage device.
The main board 2 includes a main body 21, a management control chip 22, and a second interface 23. The body 21 is used for bearing other components and is used as a basis for realizing function integration; in practical applications, the main board 2 is usually a printed circuit board on which a printed circuit for connecting the components is printed. The management control chip 22 is used to perform management control of various components mounted on the motherboard 2.
In the specific embodiment, the second interface 23 is matched with the aforementioned first interface 13, and includes a second internal integrated circuit sub-interface 231 matched with the first internal integrated circuit sub-interface 131, and the second internal integrated circuit sub-interface 231 is directly connected with the management control chip 22 through a printed circuit on the board body.
The first inter-integrated circuit sub-interface 131 and the second inter-integrated circuit sub-interface 231 interface in a case where the first interface 13 and the second interface 23 cooperate to mount the data storage device on the main board 2. Under the control of the management control chip 22, the working state parameters of the data storage component 11 collected by the storage control chip 12 are directly transmitted to the management control chip 22 through the first internal integrated circuit sub-interface 131 and the second internal integrated circuit sub-interface 231, so that the management control chip 22 can directly obtain the working state parameters; the management control chip 22 can adjust the operating characteristics of the motherboard 2 or the entire computer system according to the operating state parameters.
Because the management control chip 22 is connected to the second internal integrated circuit sub-interface 231 through the first internal integrated circuit sub-interface 131, it can be ensured that the management control chip 22 can always obtain the operating state parameters of the data storage component 11 of the data storage device, and the problem that the operating state parameters of the data storage component 11 cannot be read due to component variation or component mismatching in a computer system is avoided.
The computer system provided in the present embodiment further includes a second data transmission sub-interface 232, and the first interface 13 includes a first data transmission sub-interface 132. When the first interface 13 and the second interface 23 are connected, the first data transmission sub-interface 132 and the second data transmission sub-interface 232 are connected to realize the transmission of the memory read data.
Similar to the foregoing data storage device embodiments, in the computer system according to the present embodiment, each of the first data transmission sub-interface 132 and the second data transmission sub-interface 232 may be one of a serial advanced technology attachment interface, a micro advanced technology attachment interface, an advanced technology attachment interface, or an enterprise and database solid state disk form interface; of course, the first data transmission sub-interface 132 and the second data transmission sub-interface 232 may be other types of interfaces.
It should be noted that in the computer system provided in the foregoing embodiment, the motherboard 2 further includes other necessary working components, for example, including a memory, a CPU, a heat dissipation fan, and some possible PCIE interface boards.
In one embodiment of the present application, a computer system is provided that further comprises a patch panel.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a patch panel 3 in a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the patch panel 3 includes a third interface 31, a fourth interface 32, and a printed circuit connecting the third interface 31 and the fourth interface 32. The third interface 31 is for interfacing with the second interface 23 and comprises a third inter-integrated circuit sub-interface 311 for directly interfacing with the second inter-integrated circuit sub-interface 231. The fourth interface 32 is for connection with the first interface 13 and comprises a fourth inter-integrated circuit sub-interface 321 directly connected to the first inter-integrated circuit sub-interface 131.
By providing the socket board 3, the second interface 23 on the main board 2 may not directly interface with the first interface 13 in the data storage device, so that data transmission, especially transmission of the operating state parameters of the data storage module 11, is also possible in the case where the interface shapes and interface types of the first interface 13 and the second interface 23 are different.
In addition, in practical applications, a third interface 31 may be disposed on the patch board 3, and a plurality of fourth interfaces 32 connected to the third interface 31 are disposed, so that the main board 2 is connected to a plurality of data storage devices through the second interface 23; the management control chip 22 can monitor a plurality of data storage devices at the same time, and realize a plurality of types of data transmission.
In addition, in the computer system provided with the plugboard 3 according to the foregoing embodiment, the first interface 13 may include a first data sub-interface, the fourth interface 32 includes a fourth data sub-interface 322, and the first data sub-interface and the fourth data sub-interface 322 are of the same type; the second interface 23 comprises a second data subinterface, the third interface 31 comprises a third data subinterface 312, and the second data subinterface and the third data subinterface 312 are of the same type; however, the third data sub-interface 312 and the fourth data sub-interface 322 are of different types. However, since the printed circuit on the patch panel 3 connects corresponding contacts in the third data sub-interface 312 and the fourth data sub-interface 322, the third data sub-interface 312 and the fourth data sub-interface 322 also communicate data.
In practice, the number of contacts of the third data sub-interface 312 is preferably greater than the number of contacts of the fourth data sub-interface 322, so that the third data sub-interface 312 can be compatible with other types of interfaces.
Since the enterprise and database solid state disk form parameter interface is currently one of the most likely adopted standard interfaces in the data storage device in the server, in order to enable the plug-in card to meet the future standard requirements, the aforementioned second data sub-interface and third data sub-interface 312 may be the enterprise and database hard disk form parameter interface, while the first data sub-interface and fourth data sub-interface 322 are one of the serial advanced technology attachment interface, the micro serial advanced data attachment interface or the advanced attachment interface; in case there are many fourth data sub-interfaces 322, the type of the different fourth data sub-interfaces 322 may be different.
In a specific application, the foregoing patch panel 3 may be a patch panel 3 with a disk array management function, and the patch panel 3 can simultaneously manage the data storage devices with different interface types to work.
In some embodiments of the present application, the fourth interface 32 provided on the patch panel 3 may be provided in several possible forms: (1) the fourth ports 32 are provided on one side surface of the jack board 3, and the number thereof is more than one; (2) the fourth ports 32 are disposed on both side surfaces of the plugboard 3, and the number thereof is plural; (3) the socket board 3 is provided with a mounting slot, and the fourth interface 32 is disposed at a side of the mounting slot, so that the corresponding data storage device can be mounted in the mounting slot.
In the foregoing embodiment, it has been mentioned that the third interface 31 and the fourth interface 32 in the present embodiment may adopt serial interfaces, and in the case that the number of the fourth interfaces 32 on the pinboard 3 is plural, and the data storage device supports a specific serial interface in which the contacts in a specific first data subinterface constitute a specific serial interface, the contacts of the third data subinterface 312 in the third interface 31 may be connected with a part of the contacts in the fourth interface 32, so that the plural serial interfaces may be used simultaneously.
In some other embodiments, a management chip may be installed on the patch panel 3, so as to manage the use status of the contacts in the fourth data sub-interface 322 in each fourth interface 32 by using the management chip.
In some embodiments of the present application, the data storage component 11 and the storage control chip 12 of the foregoing data storage device are still sas, sata or the like mechanical hard disks, and the first data sub-interface adopts an enterprise and database solid state disk form parameter interface; in specific application, corresponding data transmission lines in the sas and sata hard disks need to be determined according to form parameters of the solid state hard disks of enterprises and databases.
For example, for a SATA hard disk, according to the SFF-TA-1009/1006 standard, PERP0 needs to be changed into RP0, PERN0 needs to be changed into RN0, PETP0 needs to be changed into TP0, PETN0 needs to be changed into TN0, namely PE is removed for representation, and lan0 can be connected with PCIE lan 0/SAS/SATA; similarly, lan1-3 is replaced by PCIE/SAS lan1-3, and is correspondingly replaced and designed to be the same as lan and pin.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the application and is illustrative of the principles of the technology employed. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the scope of the invention herein disclosed is not limited to the particular combination of features described above, but also encompasses other arrangements formed by any combination of the above features or their equivalents without departing from the spirit of the invention.
