In a computer system comprising a plurality of computers interconnected by a network, the following steps are implemented: checking the booting of the individual computers when their power is turned on, checking the available memory space and I/O volumes on the individual computers, and determining a schedule of interleaving the memory and the I/O components. Thereby, the invention provides a multiprocessor system operating with shared memory units in a multiplex manner. In a computer system comprising elemental servers (each functioning as a single server unit and has an SSP) and a network interconnecting the servers. The SSP in conjunction with a chip set provides means for communication through control packets transmitted over the network. The SSP controls the components of the elemental server including the power supply unit. By setting a schedule of interleaving the memory and the I/O components across the plurality of servers, a multiprocessor system operating with shared memory units in a multiplex manner.
