DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BASEBOARD MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER

摘要

A detection system for a baseboard management controller (BMC) provides a motherboard and a BMC. The motherboard sends a detection command to the BMC, the command requiring the BMC to send a response value to the motherboard. A determination unit determines whether the motherboard receives the response value within a preset time. When the motherboard does not receive the response value within the preset time, the determination unit determines that the BMC works abnormally and issues warnings. A detection method is also provided.

1. A detection system comprising:
a baseboard management controller (BMC) comprising a first sending unit and a first receiving unit; and a motherboard comprising:
a second sending unit configured for sending a detection command to the first receiving unit of the BMC, the detection command configured for controlling the first sending unit of the BMC to send back a response value;a second receiving unit configured for obtaining the response value from the BMC;a determination unit configured to determine whether the second receiving unit receives the response value from the BMC within a preset time;wherein when the second receiving unit receives the response value within the preset time, the determination unit determines the BMC works normally; andwherein when the second receiving unit does not receive the response value within the preset time, the determination unit determines the BMC works abnormally.
