Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a BIOS chip switching method and a baseboard management controller in order to quickly solve the problem that servers cannot be started due to BIOS chip failure. The method includes the steps that the baseboard management controller (BMC) receives an operation instruction, wherein the operation instruction is an instruction for starting a server, and the server includes a first BIOS chip and a second BIOS chip; the BMC monitors whether or not a first signal sent by the first BIOS chip is received within a first time period and a second signal sent by the first BIOS chip is received within a second time period, wherein the first time period is different from the second time period, and the second time period is the time period after the first time period; if the BMC does not receive the first signal within the first time period or the BMC does not receive the second signal within the second time period, the BMC switches the first BIOS chip into the second BIOS chip to restart the server.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a BIOS chip switching method and a base board management controller. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of IT technology, the security, reliability and availability of servers are becoming more and more important. The startup of the server mainly depends on the driver program in the BIOS (Basic Input / ouput system) chip on the server, which stores the most important basic input and output programs of the computer, the self-test program after power-on and the system self-starting program, providing the computer with the most Low-level, most direct hardware setup and control. If the BIOS chip is physically damaged or the BIOS chip program is damaged, the server will not start normally. [0003] When the BIOS chip is damaged or the BIOS chip program is damaged, it is necessary to replace the chip or reprogram the BIOS program to ensure that the system starts nor...
