Abstract: A method for node communication for use in a rack system is provided. The method includes providing a detecting unit for connecting to the nodes via a circuit switching device; predefining a linked list in which a limit of times for the detecting unit to communicate with each of the nodes is set; sequentially selecting one node of the nodes so that the detecting unit is connected to the one node via the circuit switching device; adding an assigned communication parameter between the detecting unit and the one node selected to the linked list, wherein a number of times of communication corresponding to the assigned communication parameter is not greater than the limit of times; and performing communication between the detecting unit and the one node selected in accordance with the assigned communication parameter in the linked list.

Abstract: A method for controlling a rack system including a plurality of detachable chassis, where at lease one node is disposed in the chassis and a rack management controller (RMC) is disposed in the rack system. First, at least one detecting unit connected to the RMC and the node of the chassis in the rack system is provided. Next, a status message of the chassis is detected for determining whether the status of the chassis is changed. When the status is changed, the detecting unit determines whether the node corresponding to the chassis exists in the rack system. When the node exists, the detecting unit acquires a message of a field replaceable unit (FRU) of the node. Thereafter, the detecting unit transmits the message of the FRU to the RMC. Then, the RMC determines a type of the node according to the message of the FRU.
