Method and device of controlling external system parameters using ATA side band

摘要

The invention provides a solution/device of controlling external parameters by using of the same data cable and specific software to transfer/receive message and monitor/controlling external parameters in a system. Additionally, the invention is compatible with ATA/ATAPI by using of ATA protocol or side-band protocol to make a main system communicates with other device(s) through original ATA/ATAPI device<custom-character file="US20020116547A1-20020822-P00900.TIF" wi="20" he="20" id="custom-character-00001"/>s data cable. Also, the invention is using by the system<custom-character file="US20020116547A1-20020822-P00900.TIF" wi="20" he="20" id="custom-character-00002"/>s data cables and non-standard controlling sequence to transfer and receive message by the same cable to connect with the external devices for monitoring/ controlling external parameters. Hence, those advantages are data wires in the invention shall be reduced and simplified loops. Also, the invention can decrease the manufacture costs and get a better heating dissipation.
