CN104407854A - A Method of Displaying Menu in Color under DOS System - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention provides a method for displaying a menu in color under a DOS system, which belongs to an improvement of a DOS menu when a computer server is upgraded by using a DOS tool. Specific modifications are as follows: carrying out color discrimination on an upgrade menu of the USB flash disk under the DOS; the BIOS upgrading area is set as a blue prompt, the BMCROM upgrading area is set as pink, and the FRU is set as a yellow prompt. Compared with the prior art, the color menu display method increases identifiability, improves the convenience and correctness of selection of operators, and improves efficiency.

Description

A Method of Displaying Menu in Color under DOS System

technical field

The method relates to the field of post operations in the production process of computers and servers, and is specifically a method for displaying menus in color under a DOS system to prevent careless operations in the production process. the

Background technique

The server's embedded firmware can be upgraded to improve machine functions, enhance machine stability, and patch machine vulnerabilities. The definition in the dictionary of firmware (FirmWare) is hardware with software functions. In the early days, such devices were generally EROM or EPROM with software, and usually the programs stored in these hardware could not be directly read or read by the user. Modified. At that time, it is generally not necessary to upgrade the firmware. Even if a serious bug is found in the firmware, the EPROM on the original machine must be replaced by a professional with a programmed EPROM.

The firmware also determines the function and performance of the hardware. From this point of view, the firmware of the hardware has almost the same status as it, and to some extent, the firmware may be more important. Because only by writing an excellent firmware program can the hardware be fully and skillfully used.

In most of the servers shipped out of the factory, the firmware is upgraded through a USB flash drive. With the various customizations of the motherboard, the U disk menu under DOS is getting longer and longer, and the color is single, making it inconvenient to choose.

In order to be able to improve the efficiency of the operation, the existing technology realizes various upgrade options through classification:

1. According to each type of server motherboard, it is divided into different types of menus;

2. A single motherboard is subdivided into options such as BIOS, BMC, and FRU.

But as the same model is more and more customized, BMC/BIOS/FRU have their own requirements, making the menu longer and longer. It is inconvenient to find the end from the beginning. the

Contents of the invention

The technical task of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a reliable, simple and efficient method for adding color display to menu option fonts under pure DOS system.

This method uses the color display menu method under the DOS system, and defines various upgrade scripts with different color areas.

Technical scheme of the present invention is realized in the following manner,

A method for displaying menus in color under a DOS system, its specific analysis process is as follows:

(1) If the color menu is displayed through the DOS command, output in five colors is allowed;

(2) Make reasonable use of these five colors in the DOS menu;

(3) Identifying by region improves the recognition of the script, which is conducive to the rapid and accurate selection of the operator;

(4) Define the BIOS upgrade script font as the first color font display, BMC as the second color script font display, and FRU as the third color font display;

(5) In this way, the operator can quickly find the blue area when looking for the BIOS;

Define the BIOS upgrade script to be displayed in blue font, the BMC to be displayed in pink script font, and the FRU to be displayed in yellow font.

In this way, to find the BMC upgrade script, you only need to look at the script in pink font, and you only need to look at the yellow font display for the same FRU steps, which improves the work efficiency of operators.

The beneficial effect that the present invention produces compared with prior art is:

A method for displaying menus in color under the DOS system of the present invention realizes the method for displaying menus in color under the system through software technology; adding color menu options and defining color distinctions increases the recognition of scripts and improves the selection of operators. Efficiency for menu upgrades.

Detailed ways

The content of the present invention is described in more detail below:

Technical scheme of the present invention is realized in the following manner, and its specific analysis process is as follows:

(1) If the color menu is displayed through the DOS command, output in five colors is allowed;

(2) Make reasonable use of these five colors in the DOS menu;

(3) Identifying by region improves the recognition of the script, which is conducive to the rapid and accurate selection of the operator;

(4) Define the BIOS upgrade script font to be displayed in blue font, BMC to be displayed in pink script font, and FRU to be displayed in yellow font;

(5) In this way, the operator can quickly find the blue area when looking for the BIOS;

To find the BMC upgrade script, you only need to look at the script in pink font. For the same FRU steps, you only need to look at the yellow font display. Improve the work efficiency of operators.

Claims (3)

1. the method for colored display menu under DOS system, is characterized in that detailed process is as follows:

(1) carry out display color menu by dos command, allow the output of five kinds of colors;

(2) these five kinds of colors are used in the menu of DOS;

(3) subregion identifies;

(4) define the font display that BIOS upgrade script font is the first color, BMC is the script font display of the second color, and FRU is the display of the third color font;

(5) by color region fast finding when searching.

2. method according to claim 1, is characterized in that carrying out color differentiation to the upgrading menu of USB flash disk under DOS.

3. method according to claim 2, it is characterized in that definition BIOS upgrade script font is blue font display, BMC is the display of pink colour script font, and FRU is the display of yellow font.
