Abstract

A system for detecting status information of a motherboard, a plurality of operating units being located on the motherboard, and each of the plurality of operating units being adapted to generate an error message when each of the plurality of operating units becomes abnormal, the system includes a detecting module, and an information display card. The detecting module is adapted to query address information corresponding to abnormal operating unit according to the error message. The information display card comprises a controlling module and a display module connected to the controlling module. The controlling module is adapted to obtain the address information and the abnormal operating unit, and the controlling module further adapted to control the display module to display the address information and the abnormal operating unit.

Claims

1. A system for detecting status information of a motherboard, a plurality of operating units being located on the motherboard, and each of the plurality of operating units being adapted to generate an error message when each of the plurality of operating units operates abnormally, the system comprising:

a detecting module adapted to query an address information corresponding to abnormal operating unit according to the error message; and

an information display card comprising a controlling module and a display module connected to the controlling module,

wherein the controlling module is adapted to obtain the address information of the abnormal operating unit, and the controlling module is further adapted to control the display module to display the address information of the abnormal operating unit.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a connecting module, wherein the connecting module is connected to the detecting module and the controlling module.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the detecting module comprises a detecting unit, and the detecting unit is adapted to detect the error message.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the detecting module further comprises an information querying unit, and the information querying unit is adapted to query the address information from a table with the address information of the plurality of operating unit.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the controlling module comprises an obtaining unit, and the obtaining unit is adapted to obtain the address information corresponding to the error message.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the controlling module comprises a controlling unit, the display module comprises a first display unit, and the controlling unit is adapted to turn on the first display unit to show the address information.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the first display unit comprises eight light emitting diodes.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein the display module comprises a second display unit, and the second display unit is adapted to display the address information.

9. A method for detecting status information of a motherboard, a plurality of operating units being located on the motherboard, and each of the plurality of operating units being adapted to generate an error message when each of the plurality of operating units operates abnormally, the method comprising:

querying address information corresponding to an abnormal operating unit according to the error message; and

obtaining the error message and the address information, and

displaying the address information of the abnormal operating unit.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

detecting the error message.

11. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

turning on the light emitting diodes to show the address information.

12. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

displaying the address information of the abnormal operating unit on a liquid crystal display.
