Provided is a hard disk peak shift starting system, including: a power supply unit, a mainboard and a hard disk backplane. The power supply unit provides power to hard disks via a first power connector, a second power connector, E-Fuse chips and hard disk connectors. A Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) unit sets a power-up starting sequence of the hard disks and a power-up starting time interval between the hard disks, and the CPLD unit is connected to a logical control end of each of the E-Fuse chips to control, based on the set power-up starting sequence and the set power-up starting time interval, on-off of a power supply end of each of the E-Fuse chips, to realize control of peak shift powering up and starting of the hard disks.
