以下說明本發明之主機模組14內元件管理的步驟，如第3圖所示：當有任一主機模組14內元件安裝完成，然後開機，該元件之型號規格電壓自動載入基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18內(T1)；續，該系統管理控制器30將存於基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18內之該元件之型號規格電壓存入該資料儲存晶片20之內(T2)；之後，維護人員可到現場或遠端讀取該資料儲存晶片20內之該元件型號規格電壓資料，以進行維護或維修作業，藉此，達到識別與管理主機模組14內元件的目的。 The following describes the steps of component management in the host module 14 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3: when any component in the host module 14 is installed and then turned on, the component specification voltage of the component is automatically loaded into the basic output input. System (BIOS) 18 (T1); continued, the system management controller 30 stores the model specification voltage of the component stored in the basic output input system (BIOS) 18 into the data storage chip 20 (T2); Thereafter, the maintenance personnel can read the component model specification voltage data in the data storage chip 20 on site or at a remote location for maintenance or repair operations, thereby achieving the purpose of identifying and managing components in the host module 14.
其中，該主機模組14內元件，可為：CPU、記憶體、硬碟、CPU風扇。 The components in the host module 14 can be: a CPU, a memory, a hard disk, and a CPU fan.
以下說明本發明之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18自動設定的方法：基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)設定內容是由設在主機模組14內之一鋰電池來提供主要電源，而維持基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)內部之設定內容，但是一般主機板使用2-3年後，該鋰電池將會失去電力，使得該基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)內之設定內容消失，在此情況下，本系統可透過系統管理控制器30，以一軟體內之指令，將儲存在該界面模組10之資料儲存晶片20上之本系統基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)之設定內容，載入該主機模組14之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)系統，使消失的基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18設定內容可自動恢復設定；其中因為該界面模組10係與該主機模組14分開，因此該主機模組14上之鋰電池失去電源並不會影響該界面模組10之正常運作，使本方法可解決該鋰電池失去電源後該主機模組14之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18設定內容消失之問題。 The following describes a method for automatically setting the basic output input system (BIOS) 18 of the present invention: the basic output input system (BIOS) setting content is provided by a lithium battery provided in the host module 14 to provide a main power source while maintaining the basic output input. The internal setting of the system (BIOS), but after 2-3 years of normal motherboard use, the lithium battery will lose power, so that the setting contents in the basic output input system (BIOS) disappear, in this case, the system The system management controller 30 can load the setting contents of the basic output input system (BIOS) of the system stored on the data storage chip 20 of the interface module 10 into the host module 14 by a software command. The basic output input system (BIOS) system enables the disappearance of the basic output input system (BIOS) 18 settings to automatically restore settings; wherein the interface module 10 is separate from the host module 14, the host module 14 The loss of power of the lithium battery does not affect the normal operation of the interface module 10, so that the method can solve the basic output input system (BIOS) of the host module 14 after the lithium battery loses power. 8 Set the problem of content disappearing.
另外，一般POS主機在生產線上完成組裝後，其所載入之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18設定皆為相同之內定值，而每一批的出貨都有其獨特需求之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)設定值，與內定值不同，因此生產線上之標準工作程序是在組裝後，再以人工方式將所需之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)設定值一一設定，如此不僅造成人力需求增加且容易出錯，本法即可透過系 統管理控制器30，以一軟體內之指令，將儲存在該界面模組10之資料儲存晶片20上之本系統基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)之設定內容，載入該主機模組14之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18系統內，使該主機模組14之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18設定內容，自動設定完成。 In addition, after the general POS host is assembled on the production line, the basic output input system (BIOS) 18 loaded is set to the same internal value, and each batch of shipment has its own unique input output. The system (BIOS) setting value is different from the default value. Therefore, the standard working procedure on the production line is to manually set the required basic output input system (BIOS) settings one by one after assembly, thus not only causing manpower. Increased demand and error-prone The management controller 30 loads the setting contents of the basic output input system (BIOS) of the system stored on the data storage chip 20 of the interface module 10 into the basic module 14 by a software command. In the output input system (BIOS) 18 system, the basic output input system (BIOS) 18 of the host module 14 sets the content, and the automatic setting is completed.
此外，當使用者不慎設定錯誤的基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18內容，造成系統不穩，在此情況下，本系統同樣可透過系統管理控制器30，以一軟體內之指令，將儲存在該界面模組10之資料儲存晶片20上本系統基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)之設定內容，載入該主機模組14之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18系統內，使錯誤的該主機模組14之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18設定內容，自動重新設定完成。 In addition, when the user accidentally sets the wrong basic output input system (BIOS) 18 content, causing the system to be unstable, in this case, the system can also be stored through the system management controller 30, in a soft body command. The setting content of the basic output input system (BIOS) of the system on the data storage chip 20 of the interface module 10 is loaded into the basic output input system (BIOS) 18 of the host module 14 to make the wrong host mode. The basic output input system (BIOS) 18 of the group 14 sets the content and the automatic reset is completed.
其中，所述的一軟體內之指令，舉例來說，可設一應用軟體，其中含有(將資料儲存晶片20上之目前基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)之設定內容載入主機模組14之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18系統內)之選項，使用者執行此選項即可達成基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18自動設定功能。 The instruction in the software may be, for example, an application software, which includes (the basic content of the current basic output input system (BIOS) on the data storage chip 20 is loaded into the host module 14 The input and output system (BIOS) 18 system option, the user can perform this option to achieve the basic output input system (BIOS) 18 automatic setting function.
其中，所述的儲存在該界面模組10之資料儲存晶片20上的本系統基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)之設定內容資料，該資料來源可由系統管理控制器30將主機模組14之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18設定內容儲存進該資料儲存晶片20內，或是藉由一應用軟體將主機模組14之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)18設定內容儲存進該資料儲存晶片20內，或是透過另一台電腦將已確認之基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)之設定內容載入進該資料儲存晶片20內。 The system basically outputs the setting content data of the input system (BIOS) stored on the data storage chip 20 of the interface module 10, and the data source can be the basic output of the host module 14 by the system management controller 30. The input system (BIOS) 18 stores the setting contents into the data storage chip 20, or stores the basic output input system (BIOS) 18 setting contents of the host module 14 into the data storage chip 20 by using an application software, or The setting contents of the confirmed basic output input system (BIOS) are loaded into the data storage chip 20 through another computer.
以下說明本發明之主機模組14內元件主動更新之管理方法：現有主機模組14內元件如CPU散熱風扇、主機板等都有其使用壽命，當這些元件突然失效時會造成使用者之不便與損失，因此本系統在資料儲存晶片20上設有風扇轉速異常趨勢值、CPU與主機板溫度異常趨勢值、系統電壓異常趨勢值等資料，其係將該等電腦元件經長時間的統計後，所歸納出該等電腦元件在失效前其最適合更換之數值，存於該資料儲存晶片20，以便在例行性維護(如每月定期保養檢查)時，即可讀取其內容，比對基本輸出輸入系 統(BIOS)之監測風扇轉速(轉/秒)、監測CPU及主機板溫度、監測系統電壓值內容，若現行之風扇轉速(轉/秒)、CPU及主機板溫度或系統電壓值已達其異常趨勢值，即可提早進行更換，避免這些元件突然失效而造成損失。 The following describes the management method for actively updating components in the host module 14 of the present invention: the components in the existing host module 14 such as the CPU cooling fan and the motherboard have their service life, and when these components suddenly fail, the user is inconvenient. And the loss, therefore, the system has the fan speed abnormal trend value, the CPU and the motherboard temperature abnormal trend value, the system voltage abnormal trend value and the like on the data storage chip 20, which are the statistics of the computer components after a long period of time. The values of the computer components that are most suitable for replacement before failure are stored in the data storage chip 20 so that they can be read during routine maintenance (such as monthly regular maintenance inspection). Basic output input system Monitor the fan speed (rev / sec), monitor the CPU and motherboard temperature, monitor the system voltage value, if the current fan speed (rev / sec), CPU and motherboard temperature or system voltage value has reached its The abnormal trend value can be replaced early to avoid the sudden failure of these components and cause losses.
以下說明本發明之I/O埠輸出電壓自動設定的方法：現有電腦之I/O埠電壓設定需藉由基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)或Jumper來進行設定，當各I/O埠需要不同電壓時，需重新設定方能使用，其維修成本較高，例如COM1埠與COM2埠，可能一批出貨時其電壓需求是0伏特與12伏特，而另一批出貨時其需求是12伏特與5伏特，而每批出貨之電壓設定藉由基本輸出輸入系統(BIOS)或其Jumper來調整，成本很高；本系統可透過系統管理控制器30，藉由讀取儲存在該資料儲存晶片20內之I/O埠輸出電壓值，而控制該等I/O埠之輸出電壓值與該資料儲存晶片20內之I/O埠之輸出電壓值相同，達成I/O埠輸出電壓自動設定的功能。 The following describes the method for automatically setting the I/O output voltage of the present invention: the I/O voltage setting of the existing computer is set by the basic output input system (BIOS) or Jumper, and different voltages are required for each I/O port. When it needs to be reset, it can be used. Its maintenance cost is high. For example, COM1埠 and COM2埠, the voltage demand of a batch may be 0 volts and 12 volts, while the other batch is 12 volts. With 5 volts, and the voltage setting of each shipment is adjusted by the basic output input system (BIOS) or its Jumper, the cost is very high; the system can be stored in the data storage through the system management controller 30 The I/O 埠 output voltage value in the chip 20, and the output voltage value for controlling the I/O 与 is the same as the I/O 埠 output voltage value in the data storage chip 20, and the I/O 埠 output voltage is automatically achieved. Set function.
