摘要： A method for presenting initialization progress of hardware in a server, and a server where, before a basic input/output system (BIOS) runs to a preset process, an out-of-band central processing unit (CPU) in a hardware system in which a baseboard management controller (BMC) runs establishes a connection to a graphics card using a signal selection switch, the BIOS sends presentation information for representing initialization progress of hardware included in a server to the BMC, and then, the BMC presents the presentation information using the graphics card. Therefore, the presentation information can be always presented in an entire process in which the BIOS initializes the hardware in the server.
