Abstract: A server system and a power-saving method thereof are provided. The power-saving method includes: enabling, by a programmable logic unit in a working mode, a power-on control unit to operate according to a working power; determining, by the power-on control unit in the working mode, whether a power-saving power-off signal is received, and when the power-saving power-off signal is received, controlling, by the power-on control unit, the server system to be powered off and switched from the working mode to a soft-off mode; operating, by the programmable logic unit, according to standby power to enable, in the soft-off mode, the power-on control unit to operate according to the standby power; and turning off, by a baseboard management control unit, the programmable logic unit according to the power-saving power-off signal when the power-on control unit operates according to the standby power, to turn off the power-on control unit.
