Server and booting method

摘要

A server including a basic input output system (BIOS) chip, a control unit and multiple central processing units (CPUs), and a booting method are provided. The BIOS chip outputs a booting signal. One of the CPUs receives the booting signal to execute a booting program, and outputs a successful signal after being booted. The control unit is coupled between the BIOS chip and the CPUs, and receives the successful signal to control a connection between the BIOS chip and the one of the CPUs. When the control unit receives the successful signal, the control unit replaces a connection between the BIOS chip and current one of the CPUs with a new connection between the BIOS chip and next one of the CPUs according to the successful signal, and the next CPU then receives the booting signal.

1. A server, comprising:
a basic input output system (BIOS), stored in a BIOS chip and configured to output a booting signal; a plurality of central processing units (CPUs), each being configured to receive the booting signal to execute a booting program, and output a successful signal after being booted; and a control unit, coupled between the BIOS chip and the CPUs and configured to receive the successful signal to control a connection between the BIOS chip and each of the CPUs, wherein, when the control unit receives the successful signal, the control unit replaces a connection between the BIOS chip and current one of the CPUs with a new connection between the BIOS chip and next one of the CPUs according to the successful signal, and then the next CPU receives the booting signal to execute the booting program.
