Abstract:
A server including a basic input output system (BIOS) chip, a control unit and multiple central processing units (CPUs), and a booting method are provided. The BIOS chip outputs a booting signal. One of the CPUs receives the booting signal to execute a booting program, and outputs a successful signal after being booted. The control unit is coupled between the BIOS chip and the CPUs, and receives the successful signal to control a connection between the BIOS chip and the one of the CPUs. When the control unit receives the successful signal, the control unit replaces a connection between the BIOS chip and current one of the CPUs with a new connection between the BIOS chip and next one of the CPUs according to the successful signal, and the next CPU then receives the booting signal.
