4. The computer system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the motherboard module further comprises a network interface controller (NIC) coupled to the BMC, and the BMC receives a remote control command through the NIC, and executes the remote control command.
5. The computer system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the remote control command is a remote start command, a remote shutdown command or a remote query command.
6. The computer system as claimed in claim 3, further comprising a plurality of fans, wherein the fans are respectively coupled to a plurality of fan connectors on the motherboard module, and the BMC controls rotation speeds of the fans through the fan connectors.
7. The computer system as claimed in claim 6, further comprising a plurality of temperature sensors respectively disposed on the GPUs and the motherboard module, wherein the BMC is coupled to the temperature sensors, and controls the rotation speeds of the fans according to temperature information of the temperature sensors.
8. The computer system as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the GPUs is coupled to a power conversion circuit, the power conversion circuits are electrically connected to the power supply module, the control module correspondingly sends a power enabling signal according to the start signal of any of the GPUs to enable the corresponding power conversion circuit, so as to supply power to the corresponding GPU to start the corresponding GPU.
9. The computer system as claimed in claim 1, wherein when any of the external servers is connected to one of the second connectors, a connecting signal is generated to the control module, the control module activates the corresponding first connector according to the connecting signal, and each of the GPUs sends the start signal when the start button thereof is pressed and the corresponding first connector is in an active state.
10. The computer system as claimed in claim 9, wherein each of the GPUs has a state indication unit, when the corresponding first connector is not activated, the state indication unit indicates a disable state, when the corresponding first connector is in the active state, the state indication unit indicates a standby state, and when the GPU is started, the state indication unit indicates a use state.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method for providing additional identification data to a called party’s personal computer in a call from a calling party calling from a computer terminal other than a personal computer associated with said calling party, the call accessing a public switched telephone network through the Internet and the method comprising the steps of:
receiving basic identification data associated with said calling party and including at least one of a credit card number and a calling card number;
retrieving said additional identification data stored in a database, said additional identification data being associated in said database with said at least one of the credit card number and the calling card number, said additional identification data further identifying said calling party; and
forwarding said additional identification data to said called party’s personal computer.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of retrieving includes retrieving said additional identification data not included in said basic data received in the step of receiving.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of receiving includes receiving said basic identification data, wherein said basic identification data, except for said at least one of the calling card number and the credit card number included in said basic identification data, does not identify said calling party.
4. An apparatus for forwarding identification information to a called party in a call from a calling party calling from a computer terminal other than a personal computer associated with said calling party, the call accessing a public switched telephone network through the Internet, the apparatus comprising:
an Internet switch for routing the call by said calling party wherein said Internet switch receives basic identification data associated with said calling party;
a programmable device having a memory for storing data further identifying said calling party wherein said programmable device communicates with said Internet switch;
circuitry located in said programmable device for comparing the basic identification data received from said Internet switch and said stored data further identifying said calling party, wherein said basic identification data received from said Internet switch includes at least one of a calling card number and a credit card number; and
a switch for forwarding said stored data further identifying said calling party based on a result of said comparing circuitry.
5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the switch for forwarding is configured to forward at least one of group comprising said calling party’s name, said calling party’s home address and said calling party’s Social Security number.
6. The apparatus of claim 4 where the data further identifying said calling party is not included is said basic identification data received by said Internet switch for routing.
7. The apparatus of claim 4, where the basic identification data, except for said at least one of the calling card number and the credit card number included in said basic identification data, does not identify said calling party.
