Abstract

A computer platform embedded product data uniformization handling method and system is proposed, which is designed for providing an embedded product data uniformization handling capability on a computer platform, such as a network server, and which is characterized by the capability of recording the respective temporal points (i.e., date and time) of the programming of two separate sets of product data into a boot control unit and a baseboard management unit, such that at each start of the computer platform, the two recorded temporal points are compared to see if equal. If not, the product data with the earlier temporal point is discarded, and the product data with the late temporal point is used to update the older set of product data. This feature allows the boot control unit and the baseboard management unit to always store uniformized sets of product data.

In practical applications, the above-mentioned network server product data can be set and updated by the manufacturer and the marketing vendors at various stages as needed. Basically, if a manufacturer or a distributor needs to change the contents of the product information of the Internet Feeder, it must also change the product data stored by SMBI〇s and the product data stored by BMC-FRU. However, at present, some manufacturers or marketers often change only the product data stored in one of the units when changing the product data, and do not change the product data stored in another unit at the same time; for example, only update SMBI〇 s stored product information 'but did not update the product information stored by BMC-FRU. This situation will allow both the 1S and the pulse-cut to store different versions of the product data. If maintenance is required in the event of a fault in the network (4), the above situation may result in incorrect maintenance work due to the maintenance engineer reading the old product information. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a computer platform embedded product data unification update process, which can separately store the product data of the SMBIOS* BMC-FRU. After the branch is opened, the update function is updated, so that both can hold the same new version of the product information. The computer platform of the present invention embeds product data consistency update processing and system design to be integrated into a computer platform, in particular, a substrate management unit (Baseb〇ard Management c〇n dozens of dozens, 19821 6 200823756 BMC) network server for providing an embedded product data consistency update processing function for the network server.
