Problems solved by technology

Under normal circumstances, the CPU of EP2S is placed on the 2P platform, and the CPU of EP4S is placed on the 4P platform. However, there are certain combinations, for example, the CPU of EP2S is placed on the 4P platform or the CPU of EP4S is placed on the 2P platform. On the same platform, the BIOS can still boot smoothly. For the user, if there is no effective mechanism to remind him that he has misplaced the CPU, it is likely to cause some abnormal functions or inaccurate testing.

Embodiment Construction

[0057] see figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a kind of reminding method of misplacing CPU and is applicable to a CPU platform, wherein this CPU platform is defined as a motherboard with CPU, such as the motherboard of a server, and the method for reminding users to misplace CPU is implemented by a BIOS on a The power-on self-test stage is executed, and the method includes the following steps:

[0058] Step S10: read the type parameter of the CPU platform to indicate the type of the CPU platform, and determine the CPU socket quantity of the CPU platform accordingly;

[0059] Wherein the BIOS can obtain the number of CPU slots that the platform has by the type parameter of the platform, the pre-operation of step S10: after the platform receives the power start signal, the BIOS will start to perform POST, and in the process of performing the POST , the BIOS obtains / reads the type parameters of the platform in the ROM storing the BIOS program and stores the type p...

Abstract

The invention provides a system for reminding users of CPU misplacement and a method thereof. The method comprises the following steps of: reading a pattern parameter of a CPU platform to indicate a pattern of the CPU platform, and judging the quantity of CPU slots of the CPU platform; respectively reading CPU modules corresponding to a plurality of CPU slots so as to respectively judge and obtaininsertion states of the CPU module to be one of effective insertion and ineffective insertion; respectively assigning a CPU configuration bus serial number to the CPU modules, the insertion states ofwhich are effective insertion according to the insertion states of the CPU modules corresponding to the plurality of CPU slots; comparing and obtaining matching states between CPU patterns of the CPUmodules corresponding to the effective insertion and the pattern parameter of the CPU platform; and transmitting comparison data of the mismatched CPU modules to a BMC so as to record system event logs of the BMC.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to a system and method for reminding users to misplace CPUs, in particular to a system and method for reminding users to prevent system abnormalities caused by misplaced CPUs. 【Background technique】 [0002] The multi-processor platform (platform) type is divided into 2P\4P. The 2P platform corresponds to the EP2S CPU, and the 4P platform corresponds to the EP4S CPU. Users can place one or more CPUs according to their own needs. Judging from the current situation of CPU dominance in the server market, its CPU can be divided into EP, EX, EN, etc. according to different functions and uses. Among them, EP can be divided into EP2S and EP4S. During the POST process, the BIOS will first detect how many CPUs are currently installed in the system, and then allocate the Bus number, Device number, and Function number, and the Bus number may be dynamically allocated due to the number and order of the CPUs. Different bus number (Bus number...
