MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING HARD DISK DRIVE WORKING STATUS

摘要

A monitoring system for monitoring working statuses of hard disk drives comprises a controller, an MCU, an RS, and a group of indicators. The controller stores SGPIO information of corresponding hard disk drives. The MCU comprises an SGPIO signal reading unit and an SGPIO signal decoding unit. The SGPIO signal reading unit is configured for reading the SGPIO information. The SGPIO signal decoding unit decodes the read SGPIO information to obtain working status information and sends the obtained working status information to the RS. The RS receives the working status information. The group of indicators indicates the working statuses of the corresponding hard disk drives. A monitoring method using the monitoring system is also provided.

1. A monitoring system, for monitoring a working status of a hard disk drive, comprising:
a controller connected to the hard disk drive and storing SGPIO information; a MCU connected to the controller and comprising a SGPIO signal reading unit and a SGPIO signal operating unit; a RS connected to the MCU; and a group of indicators connected to the RS; wherein the SGPIO signal reading unit is configured for reading the SGPIO information to obtain a working status from the SGPIO information; the SGPIO signal operating unit is configured for operating the working status information to an identifiable working status information to the RS; the RS is configured for receiving the identifiable working status information; and the group of indicators is configured for displaying the working status in the identifiable working status information.
