Embodiment 1

[0042] This embodiment provides a server display device, which mainly adds a set of display units independent of the original system on the main board of the server to solve the problem that the display has no output during the power-on self-test stage of the original system, and can output error indications at this stage to the display Screen.

[0043] The server display device provided in this embodiment at least includes a PCH, a BMC, and an additional display unit connected to both the PCH and the BMC.

[0044] The newly added display unit, when the BMC is not started, if it detects the start status signal sent by the PCH, it will output the pre-stored information to the display screen, and when it detects that the display module of the BMC has been initialized, it will be displayed on the BMC. The VGA signal output by the module is switched to the display screen.

[0045] Wherein, the newly added display unit can also output the pre-stored information to the display scre...

Embodiment 2

[0064] This embodiment provides a server display method, which mainly solves the problem that the display has no output during the power-on self-test stage of the existing server. The method includes:

[0065] When the BMC on the main board of the server is not started, if it is detected that the PCH on the main board sends a start status signal, the information pre-stored in the newly added display unit on the main board will be output to the display screen until it is detected that the display module of the BMC has been initialized. The VGA signal output by the display module of the BMC is switched to the display screen.

[0066] In addition, when the BMC has been started but the display module of the BMC has not been initialized, the newly added display unit in the above server can also output the pre-stored information to the display screen according to the control of the BMC.

[0067] Since the newly added display unit includes at least EPLD and switching devices, the spe...

Abstract

The invention discloses a server display method and device, and relates to the technical field of a computer application. The server display device disclosed by the invention comprises a bridge PCH, a single board management controller BMC, and a newly increased display unit connected with the PCH and the BMC. When the BMC is not started fully, if the newly increased display unit detects that the PCH sends out a starting state signal, the newly increased display unit outputs pre-stored information to a display screen. When the newly increased display unit detects that the display module of the BMC is initialized completely, the newly increased display unit switches the video graphics array VGA signals output by the display module of the BMC to the display screen. The invention also discloses a server display method. According to the technical scheme, the display blank in an electrified self-detection time period is filled up, the user experience of the product is improved, error indication in the self-detection period is output to the display screen, and the failure of the product can be positioned rapidly and conveniently.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer applications, in particular to a fast display scheme for a server. Background technique [0002] With the development of server technology, more and more devices are integrated into server products, resulting in longer and longer BIOS power-on self-test phases, which cannot be ignored. The power-on self-test is performed before the initialization of the system display module. During the self-test period, the display screen is black and there is no output, and the user experience is poor. If there is an abnormality in the equipment during the self-inspection stage, there is no intuitive means to obtain the abnormal information, which increases the difficulty of server fault location. Contents of the invention [0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a server display method and device to solve the problem of the black screen of the display screen in the ...
