SERVER SYSTEM AND MONITORING METHOD

摘要

A server system including a processing unit, a basic input/output system (BIOS) and a control unit, and a monitoring method are provided. The BIOS communicating with the processing unit, detects a model of the processing unit, and according to the model, outputs a temperature threshold for the processing unit. The control unit coupled to the processing unit and communicating with the BIOS, receives the temperature threshold, monitors a current temperature of the processing unit and compares the current temperature with the temperature threshold to obtain a comparison result, and according to the comparison result, outputs a warning signal. When the comparison result indicates that the current temperature is higher than the temperature threshold, the control unit outputs the warning signal.

1. A monitoring method applicable to a server system and comprising:
detecting a model of a processing unit by a basic input/output system (BIOS) when the server system starts a power on self test (POST); acquiring a temperature threshold of the processing unit according to the model by the BIOS; outputting the temperature threshold from the BIOS to a control unit; monitoring a current temperature of the processing unit and comparing the current temperature of the processing unit with the temperature threshold to obtain a comparison result by the control unit; and outputting a warning signal by the control unit when the comparison result indicates that the current temperature is higher than the temperature threshold.
