A switch control circuit to switch off communication channels between a baseboard management controller (BMC) and a backplane chip when not needed includes a logic component and a switch circuit. The switch circuit is configured for coupling between the BMC and the backplane chip in a device. The logic component obtains a logic control signal from the BMC, and outputs a switch signal to the switch circuit to turn on or turn off the switch circuit according to the logic control signal. An electronic device including the switch control circuit is also provided.
