Description
本發明係關於一種伺服器機盒，尤指可有效避免卡件等組裝錯誤的一種可自動轉換傳輸介面的系統。 The invention relates to a server box, in particular to a system capable of automatically switching a transmission interface, which can effectively avoid assembly errors of cards and the like.
電腦匯流排歷經80年代的工業標準架構匯流排(Industry Standard Architecture,ISA)架構、90年代的周邊元件連接介面(Peripheral Component Interconnect,PCI)與繪圖加速埠(Accelerated Graphics Port,AGP)架構。然而，對於目前大量的資料傳輸而言，PCI與AGP已不敷使用。因此英特爾公司主導的3GIO(Third Generation I/O Architecture)，結合多家公司組成PCI-SIG(PCI Special Interest Group)，並提出快捷外設互聯標準(PCI Express，PCI-E)架構以取代先前技術。PCI Express沿用PCI的組態(configuration)空間以及基本資料傳輸法則，但有別於PCI的多點下傳(multi-drop)平行匯流排技術，PCI Express引進交換式(switch)點對點(peerto-peer)序列傳輸技術，透過名為通道(lane)的差動訊號組(differential signal pairs)以傳送 訊號。PCI Express允許每個設備建立獨立之資料傳輸通道，不用再向整個系統請求帶寬，從而可以提高資料之傳輸速率。PCI Express採用串行連接方式能大大減少電纜間之信號干擾和電磁干擾，且相對於並行連接方式，其傳輸線纜之排線數也有所減少，更能節省空間。 The computer bus has gone through the industry standard architecture (ISA) architecture of the 1980s, the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) architecture of the 1990s. However, for the current large amount of data transmission, PCI and AGP are no longer available. Therefore, Intel's leading 3GIO (Third Generation I/O Architecture), combined with a number of companies to form the PCI-SIG (PCI Special Interest Group), and proposed a fast peripheral interconnection standard (PCI Express, PCI-E) architecture to replace the previous technology . PCI Express follows PCI's configuration space and basic data transfer rules, but unlike PCI's multi-drop parallel bus technology, PCI Express introduces switch peer-to-peer (peerto-peer) Sequence transmission technology, transmitted by differential signal pairs called lanes Signal. PCI Express allows each device to establish an independent data transmission channel, eliminating the need to request bandwidth from the entire system, thereby increasing the data transfer rate. PCI Express uses serial connection to greatly reduce signal interference and electromagnetic interference between cables, and the number of transmission cables is reduced compared to the parallel connection method, which saves space.
一組通道包括傳送端(transmitter)與接收端(receiver)，其傳輸頻寬在單工模式下為250MB/s。一組通道的規格稱為PCI Express x1，而PCI Express可藉由增加通道數量來增加頻寬，例如x1、x2、x4、x8、x16、x32等規格，且各種PCI Express之介面長短不同，PCI Express x1最短，其餘依次變長。以PCI Express x16具備16組通道而言，其在單工運作時有4GB/s的頻寬，將近是AGP 8X之2.1GB/s頻寬的兩倍。此外，PCI Express尚可運行全雙工模式，亦即原先僅單向傳輸的傳送端與接收端可採雙向傳輸，因此在全雙工的PCI Express x16規格中，其傳輸頻寬可達8GB/s。 A set of channels includes a transmitter and a receiver, and the transmission bandwidth is 250 MB/s in the simplex mode. The specification of a group of channels is called PCI Express x1, and PCI Express can increase the bandwidth by increasing the number of channels, such as x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32, etc., and the interface length of various PCI Express is different, PCI Express x1 is the shortest and the rest is longer. With 16 channels of PCI Express x16, it has a 4GB/s bandwidth for simplex operation and nearly double the AGP 8X's 2.1GB/s bandwidth. In addition, PCI Express can still run full-duplex mode, that is, the transmitter and receiver can only transmit in both directions. Therefore, in the full-duplex PCI Express x16 specification, the transmission bandwidth can reach 8GB/ s.
符合PCI Express之規格的介面卡及插槽可具有雙向兼容性，亦即可往上或向下相容。具體而言，八個通道的介面卡可相容於八個通道的插槽，四個通道的介面卡亦可相容於八個通道的插槽，而八個通道的介面卡亦可相容於四個通道的插槽。當插槽與介面卡的通道數不同時，實際傳輸的通道數量以較低者為標準。 Interface cards and slots that conform to PCI Express specifications are bi-directionally compatible and can be compatible up or down. Specifically, the eight-channel interface card is compatible with eight-channel slots, and the four-channel interface card is compatible with eight-channel slots. The eight-channel interface cards are also compatible. In the four channel slots. When the number of channels of the slot and the interface card is different, the number of channels actually transmitted is lower.
由於PCI Express介面之資料傳送速率高，質量穩定，該種介面被越來越多的用戶採用。然而，不同用戶其所使用的PCI Express介面類型往往不盡相同。因此，電腦或伺服器製造商往往需要在同一款主板上設計多種可能之I/O匯流介面的插槽，但是工業電腦(IPC)中並沒有很大的線路(主機)板面積，使得I/O匯流介面的插槽數量受到嚴格限制；而若是為了符合使用者各種不同須求，開發數種版本不同組合變化的主機板，顯然不符合實用性及經濟性。 Due to the high data transfer rate and stable quality of the PCI Express interface, this interface is being adopted by more and more users. However, the types of PCI Express interfaces used by different users are often different. Therefore, computer or server manufacturers often need to design a variety of possible I / O bus interface slots on the same motherboard, but there is no large line (host) board area in industrial computers (IPC), making I / The number of slots in the O-stream interface is strictly limited; if it is to meet the various needs of users, it is obviously not practical and economical to develop a motherboard with different combinations of different versions.
承上述，電腦廠商為了使PCI Express介面能夠便於快速轉換，因而發展出一種模組切換開關，使得不同的PCI Express介面卡得以對應PCI Express介面的插槽。然而，此種方法仍需要人力主動調整轉換，才能滿足介面卡的變換，在實用性及經濟性上仍具有一定的缺點。 In view of the above, in order to enable the PCI Express interface to be easily converted, computer manufacturers have developed a module switch that allows different PCI Express interface cards to correspond to the slots of the PCI Express interface. However, this method still needs manual adjustment and conversion to meet the transformation of the interface card, and still has certain disadvantages in practicality and economy.
因此，綜合上述內容，可以得知目前所習用的PCI Express的傳輸通道介面的轉換方式係仍具有許多缺點與不足；有鑑於此，本案之發明人係極力加以研究發明，而終於研發完成本發明之一種可自動轉換傳輸介面的系統。 Therefore, combining the above contents, it can be known that the conversion mode of the transmission channel interface of the PCI Express currently used still has many shortcomings and shortcomings; in view of this, the inventors of the present invention tried to study the invention and finally developed the present invention. A system that automatically converts the transmission interface.
本發明之主要目的，在於提供一種可自動轉換傳輸介面的系統，主要係透過一快捷外設互聯標準(PCI Express)插槽的一特定空引腳連接至一通用型輸入引腳，使 得當一快捷外設互聯標準介面卡連接至該快捷外設互聯標準插槽時，該快捷外設互聯標準介面卡會透過該特定空引腳輸入一邏輯訊號至該通用型輸入引腳，該通用型輸入引腳係使得一控制模組控制一基本輸入輸出系統晶片執行一切換快捷外設互聯標準介面程式，進而使得該快捷外設互聯標準插槽符合一第一快捷外設互聯標準介面或一第二快捷外設互聯標準介面。 The main object of the present invention is to provide a system for automatically converting a transmission interface, which is mainly connected to a general-purpose input pin through a specific empty pin of a PCI Express slot. When a fast peripheral interconnect standard interface card is connected to the standard peripheral interface of the fast peripheral interconnect, the shortcut peripheral interconnect standard interface card inputs a logic signal to the universal input pin through the specific empty pin, the universal The input pin system enables a control module to control a basic input/output system chip to execute a switching fast peripheral interconnection standard interface program, thereby making the shortcut peripheral interconnection standard slot conform to a first shortcut peripheral interconnection standard interface or a The second fast peripheral interconnect standard interface.
