High-density cabinets have more power supplies and more redundant power supplies than single-node servers, so the previous test mode for single-node server power supplies is no longer applicable today. Especially for the current popular N+N and N+2 power supplies, it is no longer realistic to test each power supply one by one according to the previous single server. The existing power supply test needs to run the PSU command line command within the specification for each power supply in turn, and for a high-density server with many power supplies, it takes a lot of manpower and time to test the power supply of the whole cabinet , so that the cost of the product in the test cycle is greatly increased and the efficiency is extremely low, but there is no way to perform batch testing of the power supply of the entire cabinet conveniently and quickly. The present invention provides a batch test method for the server power supply of the whole cabinet. The method is a batch-operable and time-sensitive cabinet power test method. It is performed based on the Secure CRT script, and the RMC is connected with the power supply frame to make the RMC Can communicate with each PSU, where RMC refers to the remote management motherboard; record Secure CRT automatic test script; log in to RMC through Secure CRT to automatically run the script for testing; save each test result; verify and generate each test result According to the report, compared with the existing technology, it not only has a wide range of applications, high efficiency, shortens the test time, improves the test level of the IT system, but also realizes batch automated testing without manual intervention; the implementation cost is low and the scalability is strong.
