Abstract

A server inspecting method and system for inspecting a module to be inspected of a server is disclosed. This provides a time-saving and labor-saving inspecting method for users, and reduces the consumption of human resources and improves the working efficiency of inspecting personnel. Moreover, the system and method can further completely record inspecting data of servers in various models, allowing the inspecting personnel to find problems when any abnormality is found.

Claims

1. A server inspecting method for inspecting a module to be inspected of a server, the server inspecting method comprising the steps of:

(1) providing an input module for inputting input data;

(2) providing an inspecting module having a database and a memory unit, for comparing the input data with batch files stored in the database and searching for one of the batch files corresponding to the input data;

(3) executing inspecting instructions of the searched batch file automatically;

(4) selecting a communication interface module for connecting the module to be inspected and the inspecting module to each other, and defining a master-slave relation of the module to be inspected and the inspecting module;

(5) starting to execute inspecting function items of the module to be inspected based on the inspecting instructions of the batch file; and

(6) providing a display module for displaying inspecting results of the module to be inspected.

2. The server inspecting method of claim 1, wherein the communication interface module is provided for the inspecting module and the module to be inspected to perform commands and data transmission.

3. The server inspecting method of claim 1, wherein the display module is one selected from the group consisting of a display, a light and a beeper.

4. A server inspecting method for inspecting a module to be inspected of a server, the server inspecting method comprising the steps of:

(1) providing an input module for inputting input data;

(2) providing an inspecting module having a database and a memory unit, for comparing the input data with batch files stored in the database and searching for one of the batch files corresponding to the input data;

(3) executing inspecting instructions of the searched batch file automatically;

(4) selecting a communication interface module for connecting the module to be inspected and the inspecting module to each other, and defining a master-slave relation of the module to be inspected and the inspecting module;

(5) starting to execute inspecting function items of the module to be inspected based on the inspecting instructions of the batch file, and when data returned by the inspecting function items are sequence data, storing the sequence data in the memory unit;

(6) providing sequence data of the inspecting instructions to be compared with the sequence data stored in the memory unit; and

(7) providing a display module and a storage module for displaying inspecting results of the module to be inspected, and storing the inspecting results in the storage module, respectively.

5. The server inspecting method of claim 4, wherein the communication interface module is provided for the inspecting module and the module to be inspected to perform commands and data transmission.

6. The server inspecting method of claim 4, wherein the display device is one selected from the group consisting of a display, a light and a beeper.

7. A server inspecting system for inspecting a module to be inspected of a server, the server inspecting system comprising:

an input module for inputting input data;

an inspecting module having a database and a memory unit, the database for comparing the input data and providing a batch file corresponding to the input data, and the inspecting module for executing inspection on inspecting function items of the module to be inspected based on the batch file;

a communication interface module for performing commands and data transmission on the inspecting module and the module to be inspected;

a display module for displaying inspecting results of the inspecting function items; and

a storage module for storing the inspecting results of the inspecting function items.

8. The server inspecting system of claim 7, wherein the display module is one selected from the group consisting of a display, a light and a beeper.
