Abstract
A motherboard is to be disposed in a local server, and includes a platform controller hub (PCH) that transmits a command associated with read access to image file data, and a baseboard management controller that includes a memory unit and a processor unit which is electrically connected between the memory unit and the PCH. The memory unit stores an image file data associated with boot-up data of the local server. The processor unit receives the command from the PCH, and interprets the command so as to retrieve the image file data stored in the memory unit. The processor unit performs format conversion upon the image file data so as to generate a packet which conforms to protocols of the PCH, and transmits the packet to the PCH.
