Abstract:
A hot swap control circuit is utilized for detecting operating status of an NVMe storage module to generate a detection report to a storage server, wherein the detection report indicates at least one of a hot remove event and a hot add event. The hot remove event happens when at least one NVMe storage device of the NVMe storage module is removed, and the hot swap control circuit reports the hot remove event to the storage server by the detection report. Moreover, the hot add event happens when a new NVMe storage device is added to the NVMe storage module, and the hot swap control circuit reports the hot add event to the storage server by the detection report.

Claim (Index 7):
A storage server system, comprising:\n a Non-Volatile Memory Express (hereinafter abbreviated NVMe) storage module; a central processing unit; and a hot swap control circuit coupled to the NVMe storage module and the central processing unit, and comprising:\n a first controller, configure to detect at least one of a hot remove event and a hot add event of the NVMe storage module to generate a first control signal; \n a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (hereinafter abbreviated PCIe) expander coupled to the first controller, and configure to generate a detection report to the central processing unit according to the first control signal to report at least one of the hot remove event and the hot add event, and generate a second control signal, wherein the first control signal, the detection report and the second control signal indicate at least one of the hot remove event and the hot add event; and \n a second controller coupled to the PCIe expander and the NVMe storage module, and configure to generate a forbidden read-write signal to the NVMe storage module when the second control signal indicates the hot remove event, and generates an activate read-write signal to the NVMe storage module when the second control signal indicates the hot add event.
