Abstract:
A method for lighting a backplane lamp of multiple NVMe hard disks is provided. The method includes: transmitting a VPP address to the backplane in a cyclic manner by the controller, and analyzing the address transmitted by the controller by a programmable logic device of the backplane after a data stream transmitted by the controller is received; transmitting, by the controller, hard disk lamp lighting information of a corresponding disk position to the programmable logic device of the backplane, if a VPP address analyzed by the backplane is the same as the VPP address transmitted by the controller; and performing logical conversion on the hard disk lamp lighting information, to convert a serial data stream on the VPP signal wires into a parallel signal, lighting a backplane lamp at a corresponding port, and uploading information of a position of the hard disk to the controller.
