Abstract: A method of monitoring a server rack system includes: initializing each of a rack management controller (RMC), a rack back plate (RBP) and a baseboard management controller (BMC); transmitting by the RMC an initiation message to RBP; transmitting by the RBP initiation messages to the BMC and the RMC, respectively; transmitting by the BMC an initiation message to RBP transmitting by the BMC a real-time monitoring output associated with a condition of a server to the RBP after receiving the initiation message transmitted by the RBP; and transmitting by the RBP at least a portion of the real-time monitoring output received from the BMC to the RMC after receiving the initiation message transmitted by the RMC.

Abstract: A method for controlling a fan module mounted in a region of a server rack. The method is implemented by a controller unit including a RMC and a region controller that corresponds to the region, and includes: receiving by the region controller temperature data from the server; determining by the region controller whether the RMC operates in a normal state; when the determination is affirmative, transmitting by the region controller the temperature data to the RMC, and controlling by the RMC a fan speed of the fan module according to the temperature data; and when the determination is negative, controlling by the region controller the fan speed according to the temperature data received from the server.
