Abstract:
1. A server, comprising: a power supply unit; a hard disk driver backplane coupled to multiple hard disk driver drivers and comprising a power-up control unit, wherein the power supply unit is coupled to the hard disk driver backplane to provide a working voltage, and the power-up control unit converts the working voltage into a switching voltage to supply power for the hard disk driver backplane, and generates a power-up normal signal after the hard disk driver backplane is power supplied normally; and a motherboard coupled to the power supply unit and comprising a booting control circuit and a controller, wherein the booting control circuit is coupled to the hard disk driver backplane; wherein in response to the power-up condition of the hard disk driver backplane, the booting control circuit receives the power-up normal signal and outputs a power-up control signal to the controller, and when receiving the power-up control signal, the controller controls the motherboard to be booted or maintained as off by determining the condition of the power-up control signal, for the data exchange between the motherboard and the hard disk driver drivers.
