Abstract
A method of monitoring a server rack system includes: initializing each of a rack management controller (RMC), a rack back plate (RBP) and a baseboard management controller (BMC); transmitting by the RMC an initiation message to RBP; transmitting by the RBP initiation messages to the BMC and the RMC, respectively; transmitting by the BMC an initiation message to RBP transmitting by the BMC a real-time monitoring output associated with a condition of a server to the RBP after receiving the initiation message transmitted by the RBP; and transmitting by the RBP at least a portion of the real-time monitoring output received from the BMC to the RMC after receiving the initiation message transmitted by the RMC.
