PREHEATING CONTROL SYSTEM OF INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A preheating control system of an information processing device, comprising:
- a temperature sensing module, for sensing a temperature of a hard disk;
a first controller, electrically coupled to the temperature sensing module, and having a primary control mode and a secondary control mode, wherein after receiving a power ON signal, the first controller shifts to the primary control mode, and determines whether the temperature of the hard disk satisfies an operating temperature scope or not, when the temperature does not satisfy the operating temperature scope, a heating control signal is generated, and when the temperature satisfies the operating temperature scope, an activate signal is generated;
a heating module, electrically coupled to the first controller, and beginning to heat according to the heating control signal, so as to generate heat to heat the hard disk; and
a second controller, electrically coupled to the first controller, and activated by the activate signal, wherein after finishing activation, the second controller generates a finish signal to the first controller, such that the first controller shifts to the secondary control module, and the second controller executes a boot program of the information processing device.

Abstract
A preheating control system of an information processing device and a control method thereof are described. The system includes a temperature sensing module, a first controller, a heating module, and a second controller. After receiving a power ON signal, the first controller shifts to a primary control mode and determines whether temperature of the hard disk satisfies an operating temperature scope or not. When the temperature does not satisfy the operating temperature scope, the heating module is used to heat the hard disk. When the temperature satisfies the operating temperature scope, the first controller shifts to a secondary control mode and activates the second controller to execute a boot program of the information processing device, thereby improving system stability.
