Patent ID: 8533498

Claim:
A power control system of a baseboard management controller (BMC), the system connected to a power supply device and the BMC, the system comprising: a control chip comprising an input terminal, a first output terminal, and a second output terminal; a first diode comprising a first anode and a first cathode, wherein the first anode is connected to the first output terminal; a second diode comprising a second anode and a second cathode, wherein the second cathode is connected to the second output terminal and the second anode is connected to the first cathode; at least one processor; and a storage system storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to: generate a power control signal for the BMC for powering up or powering down the BMC, wherein the power control signal is inputted to the input terminal of the control chip, the control chip outputs a voltage at the first output terminal and the second output terminal according to the power control signal, and the power control signal is generated according to a status of a switch or a power control parameter specified by a user; and direct the power supply device to output one or more voltages to the BMC according to an enabling signal outputted from the first cathode and the second anode.
