Abstract

The invention provides a display lightening method of a multi-display-card system. The multi-display-card system comprises a display and a case. A plurality of display cards are arranged in the case. Display card slots corresponding to the display cards are formed in the outside of the case. The method includes the following steps: starting up and starting a basic input/output system (BIOS) loaded with a hardware control program of a first display card; executing the hardware control program of the display card; detecting whether a data line is connected between the display card slot of the display card executing the hardware control program currently and a display; on no judgment, judging whether the display card is the last display card; on no judgment, removing the hardware control program of a last display card from the BIOS, loading the hardware control program of the next display card and returning to the step of executing the hardware control program of the display card; igniting the display and executing the follow-up starting up program when detecting that the data line is connected between the display card slot of the display card executing the hardware control program currently and the display. When the multi-display-card system is used or tested, automatic switching is achieved, time is saved, and convenience is improved.

Description

The display lighting method of many video cards system
[technical field]
The present invention relates to a kind of many video cards changing method, particularly a kind of display lighting method of many video cards system of easy to use or test.
[background technology]
Video card full name display interface card (Video card, Graphics card), is called again display adapter (Video adapter), and display configuration card, referred to as video card, is one of element of PC.The purposes of video card is that the needed demonstration information of computer system is changed to driving, and provide line scan signals to display, controlling the correct demonstration of display, is the significant components that connects display and PC mainboard, is one of the visual plant of " man-machine conversation ".Video card, as an important component part in host computer, is born the task of output display figure, and for being engaged in the people of professional graphic designs, video card is extremely important.
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), in start process, can only be lighted a display, but get more and more now computers or server have two above video cards.Likely that mainboard video card is mixed one or two above several combinations such as additional video card.
Have in the past several ways and give me a little bright display:
1. in being set, sets up utility routine (Setup utility) project of a selection, the video card of going selection to use to terminal user or Test Engineer.So this method just has two shortcomings:
1.1 sometimes can to have forgotten after all on earth to select be that, and data line is given and received wrong video card.What can cause like this that terminal user or Test Engineer can lose time to look for selection is that video card.
1.2 may at the beginning or will take a certain video card as preferential, then select to arranging in utility routine, are so again on times of many wastes.With server, the on time may reach 1~2 minute above even some by 4 minutes.By the time can use right video card just may cross 5~10 minutes.
2. if system has had mainboard video card, when terminal user has connect an additional video card, UEFI adds video card and uses as preferential as take, but terminal user likely just hopes the additional video card of utilization, do computing and non-display, and terminal user still wishes take that mainboard video card is as preferential.
Such situation also usually occurs in it Test Engineer, if multiple video cards of the less important examination of Test Engineer one, he likely measures and forgets which video card of present setting, he just must lose time again first to go for be actually that video card in use, and then go to see the setting value that utility routine is set, and then data line is changed on the video card of wanting to set, this is quite to lose time.
[summary of the invention]
Fundamental purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of display lighting method of many video cards system of easy to use or test.
The display lighting method that the invention provides a kind of many video cards system, many video cards system comprises a display and mainframe box, and is provided with several video cards in described mainframe box, mainframe box is respectively equipped with the card slot corresponding with video card outward; And described display lighting method comprises the following steps:
Step 10: starting up BIOS, has been mounted with the hardware controls program of the first video card in BIOS;
Step 20: the hardware controls program of carrying out video card;
Step 30: detect between the card slot of current execution hardware controls program and display whether be plugged with data line;
Step 40: detect while not being plugged with data line between the card slot of current execution hardware controls program and display, determine whether last video card;
Step 50: judgment result is that while not being last video card, from BIOS, remove the hardware controls program of a upper video card, and the hardware controls program of next video card of carry return to step 20;
Step 60: detect while being plugged with data line between the card slot of current execution hardware controls program and display, some bright display is also carried out follow-up boot program.
Especially, the video card in mainframe box comprises mainboard video card and additional video card.
Especially, described the first video card is mainboard video card.
Especially, while judgment result is that last video card, from BIOS, remove the hardware controls program of a upper video card, and carry is preset the hardware controls program of video card and carries out follow-up boot program.
Especially, by display, whether send EDID information and detect between the card slot of current execution hardware controls program and display whether be plugged with data line.
Compared with prior art, when the present invention detects and is not plugged with data line between the card slot of current execution hardware controls program and display, can automatically switch to next video card and carry out hardware controls program, when switching to the corresponding video card of card slot that is plugged with data line, some bright display.When using or testing many video cards system, realize and automatically switching, do not need to check setting value and switch data line, save time and increase convenience.
