Problems solved by technology

Because in the blade server, each motherboard is placed in a unified chassis system for execution, once each motherboard needs to update the boot program inside the basic input and output system, it is necessary to turn on the power of each motherboard, and for each The motherboard performs the update process, which will be very time-consuming and inefficient
In addition, each motherboard needs to be equipped with a read-only memory (ROM) boot program for storing the basic input and output system. In this way, the blade server will waste a lot of circuit component costs, which is very uneconomical.

Embodiment Construction

[0030] figure 1 Shown is a block diagram of a blade server according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to figure 1 , the blade server 100 includes mainboards 110_1˜110_n and a backplane 150, wherein n is a positive integer greater than 0, but its range is not limited. The backplane 150 is coupled to the mainboards 110_1˜110 — n, and the backplane 150 includes a storage unit 151 and a switch unit 152 . The storage unit 151 is used for storing a Basic Input Output System (BIOS). In this embodiment, the storage unit 151 is, for example, a non-volatile memory (Non-Volatile Memory).

[0031]The switching unit 152 is coupled between the mainboards 110_1 - 110_n and the storage unit 151 , and is used to couple the storage unit 151 to one of the mainboards 110_1 - 110_n. In this embodiment, the bus connected between the main boards 110_1 - 110 — n and the storage unit 151 is, for example, a serial (Serial Peripheral interface, SPI) bus, but the scope is not l...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for sharing a basic input-output system as well as a cutter point server and a computer thereof. The cutter point server comprises at least one mainboard and a backboard. The backboard is coupled with the mainboard and comprises a storage unit and a switching unit, wherein the storage unit is used for storing the basic input-output system, and the switching unit is coupled between the mainboard and the storage unit and enables the storage unit to be coupled with one of the mainboard, therefore, the usage amount of the storage unit can be effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a server and a computer, and in particular to a method for sharing a basic input and output system and the blade server and the computer. Background technique [0002] The so-called blade server (Blade server) refers to the integration of server system hardware such as processors, memory, and even hard drives into a single motherboard (or so-called "blade"), sharing the chassis, power supply, resources such as keyboards, monitors, and mice, and multiple (slice) blade servers can be placed in one chassis to save the space required by traditional rack mount servers. Due to the above-mentioned advantages of the blade server, many manufacturers have been attracted to invest in the research and development of such products. [0003] However, in today's blade servers, a storage BIOS is still configured on each motherboard as in traditional electronic calculators. Because in the blade server, each motherboard is placed in a ...
