Virtual Media apparatus of a Server and Access Method Thereof
First Claim
1. A server system, comprising:
- a plurality of base boards connected in series, each base board connected to a plurality of virtual media apparatus, wherein each of the virtual media apparatus comprises;
a plurality of system-on-chips;
a switch unit coupling with the system-on-chips through a serial bus;
a control unit coupling with the switch unit to transform a serial signal to an intranet signal; and
a programmable module coupling with the switch unit and the control unit to receive a control signal generated by the control unit and generate a selecting signal according to the control signal, wherein the selecting signal is transferred to the switch unit to select one of the system-on-chips to be connected to the control unit.

Abstract
A server system comprises base boards connected in series. Each base board is connected to virtual media apparatus. Each virtual media apparatus includes system-on-chips, a switch unit, a control unit and a programmable module. The switch unit couples with the system-on-chips through a serial bus. The control unit couples with the switch unit to transform a serial signal to an intranet signal. The programmable module couples with the switch unit and the control unit to receive a control signal generated by the control unit and generate a selecting signal according to the control signal. The selecting signal is transferred to the switch unit to select one of the system-on-chips to be connected to the control unit.
