The baseboard management controller can grasp various conditions in the server according to various detectors in the server, such as temperature, fan speed, power supply, operating system status, and so on. In addition, since the baseboard management control state has its own Internet Protocol address, it can be used by a dedicated network interface controller (not shown) and a shared network interface controller (not shown). One is to access the network. The dedicated network interface controller and shared network interface controller are in one embodiment a RJ45 interface. Among them, the dedicated network interface controller is dedicated to the baseboard management control to use, read the network connection and access channels. The shared network interface controller is a channel through which the baseboard management controller and the job j can be shared to access and access the network. Based on the same time, you can only control the H and share the network interface (4) the towel through the dedicated network to connect to the network. 2 Test the baseboard management controller and network connection. Whether the function is positive ~ step 103, check the substrate management controller: = interface: controller or shared network interface controller, the second test method can be transmitted through the network, the network interface controller receives Or by the Baseboard Management Control = 201114219 package and check if it can be transmitted by the dedicated network interface controller or the shared network interface controller. In other embodiments, it is also possible to test whether the connection between the test board management controller and the network is normal by other means, and is not limited to the above manner. When the connection between the dedicated network interface controller or the shared network interface controller of the computer system to be tested is abnormal, step 104 is executed to record an inspection number and determine whether the number of inspections exceeds the preset number of inspections. For example, the preset number of checks can be set to three times in one embodiment, and if it does not exceed three φ times, then return to step 103 for repeated checks until three times. When the number of inspections exceeds the preset number of inspections, for example, if the number of inspections mentioned above has reached the fourth time, but the connection is still abnormal, the process proceeds to step 105 to terminate the test. When the check result of the above step 103 indicates that the baseboard management controller and the dedicated network interface controller are normally connected, the step 106 of the solid line in step 103 in FIG. 1 is executed to switch the baseboard management controller to The shared network interface controller is connected. Next, in step 107, the test loop is counted, and the number of test loops is determined to exceed the preset number of tests. The number of test loops indicates that the entire network connection test method has been executed several times in total, and the number of test loops increases each time it is executed. When the number of test loops has been accumulated and exceeds the preset number of tests, it means that the test has been completed, and step 105 is executed to terminate the test. When the number of test loops has not exceeded the preset number of tests, step 108 is executed to restart the computer system to be tested to continue the test. In another case, when the check result of step 103 above indicates that the connection between the baseboard management controller and the shared network interface controller is normal, step 1〇9 of the dotted line in step 103 in the figure 201114219 1 is performed. Switch the baseboard management controller to connect to the dedicated network interface controller. After the switching action = complete, perform steps 107 and 1 to restart the computer system to be tested. In this way, steps 106 and 1〇9 will be alternately executed in successive test loops, and another network channel is tested after the computer system to be tested is restarted to achieve the purpose of the handover test. In an embodiment, in step 1 重新8, the computer system to be tested is restarted, and the steps as shown in FIG. 2 are further included. Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a more detailed flowchart of the steps of restarting the computer system to be tested in the network connection test method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In step 201, the DC power of the computer system to be tested is turned off, so that the operating system of the computer system to be tested stops operating. Next, in step 202, the AC power of the computer system to be tested is turned off to stop the baseboard management controller from operating. After the AC power is turned off, in an embodiment, it is substantially necessary to wait for tens of seconds. The power supply in all the modules included in the entire computer system under test is truly completely turned off. Then, step 203 is executed to provide the computer system AC power to be tested, and the computer system to be tested is started, and the restarting step is completed. The above AC power supply is provided by a power module (not shown) of the computer system to be tested. In an embodiment, the supply and shutdown of the AC power source can be controlled by a remote host (not shown) to transmit the intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) command to control the remote power controller (not shown) After that, the remote power controller controls the power module to complete. In essence, since the baseboard management controller only needs to receive AC power, 201114219 can be started. However, after the baseboard management controller is operated, the power supply module will continue to convert the AC power to DC power to make the computer system to be tested. The other modules are in operation, and the operating system of the computer system under test is further activated. It can be seen from the above embodiments of the present disclosure that the application of the present disclosure has the advantages of automatically restarting the computer system by repeatedly and switching the connection between the baseboard management controller and the dedicated network interface controller or the shared network interface controller. To test the network connection function of the baseboard management controller, the cost of the manpower test can be saved. The present disclosure has been disclosed in the above embodiments, but it is not intended to limit the disclosure, and any person skilled in the art can make various changes and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. The scope of protection of the disclosure is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other objects, features, advantages and embodiments of the present invention will become more apparent and understood. A flowchart of a network connection test method; and FIG. 2 is a more detailed flowchart of the steps of restarting the computer system to be tested in the network connection test method according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 201-203 : Procedure [Explanation of main component symbols] 101-109 : Step
