Abstract: A server for automatically determining whether to enable a remote control function and a method for automatically enabling the remote control function are provided. The method for automatically enabling the remote control function includes: executing, by a board management controller (BMC), a firmware program to determine a logic level of a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pin of the BMC; enabling, by the BMC, a remote control function according to a first logic level of the GPIO pin; and skipping enabling, by the BMC, the remote control function according to a second logic level of the GPIO pin.

Abstract: A method for updating system information of a computer device is provided. The computer device includes a baseboard management controller (BMC) and a non-volatile memory. The method includes steps of: a) upon activation of the BMC, determining whether the BMC is in a power on reset (PoR) state, and obtaining current system information that is associated with the computer device; b) when it is determined that the BMC is in the PoR state, determining whether system information stored in the non-volatile memory conforms with the current system information; and c) when the determination made in step b) is negative, storing the current system information in the non-volatile memory.
