Claim 3:
4. The server of claim 3, wherein the management module further includes:
a bus-channel switch connected to the controller; and
a relay device connected between the bus-channel switch and the memory device, the relay device being configured to be connected to the plurality of data storage devices, and configured to
during the initialization procedure, obtain the pieces of storage identifier information corresponding to the multiple data storage device that are connected to the management module through the relay device;
after receiving the access command issued by the controller, read the storage device code stored in said one data storage device which corresponds to the device address contained in the access command;
when the comparison result generated by the management module after receiving the access command from the controller indicates that said one data storage device is valid, control the bus-channel switch to connect a transmission path between the controller and said one data storage device so as to enable connection between the controller and said one data storage device; and
when said comparison result generated by the management module indicates that said one data storage device is invalid, disable connection between the bus-channel switch and said one data storage device.
