Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention discloses a server and a booting method thereof. The booting method includes the following steps. A motherboard and a hard disk driver backplane coupled to multiple hard disk drivers are provided, and a working voltage is provided for the hard disk driver backplane, wherein a power-up normal signal is generated when the hard disk driver backplane is powered up normally, and the motherboard includes a booting control circuit and a controller. In response to the power-up condition of the hard disk driver backplane, the hooting control circuit receives the power-up normal signal and outputs a power-up control signal to the controller. When receiving the power-up control signal, the controller controls the motherboard to be booted or maintained as off by determining the condition of the power-up control signal, for the data exchange between the motherboard and the hard disk driver.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A server, comprising: a power supply unit; a hard disk driver backplane coupled to multiple hard disk driver drivers and comprising a power-up control unit, wherein the power supply unit is coupled to the hard disk driver backplane to provide a working voltage, and the power-up control unit converts the working voltage into a switching voltage to supply power for the hard disk driver backplane, and generates a power-up normal signal after the hard disk dri…
