Abstract
A server with a vibration sensing function includes a cooling fan (10), a vibration sensing module (20) and a computing module (30). The vibration sensing module (20) is disposed in the server and is physically coupled to the cooling fan (10). The vibration sensing module (20) obtains a monitoring value that is updated continuously by detecting a vibration of the cooling fan (10). When the vibration sensing module (20) confirms that the monitoring value matches a threshold value, the vibration sensing module (20) outputs a warning message. The computing module (30) receives the monitoring values and the warning message.
