Abstract
A method is provided for adding a sensor monitoring feature of a newly-added sensor to a system monitoring feature provided by a baseboard management controller (BMC). The BMC stores a BMC firmware that contains a main program, a sensor library and a sensor data record. The BMC updates the sensor library to a target sensor library that includes identification information of the additional sensor, and functions used to execute the sensor monitoring feature of the additional sensor. By executing the main program, the BMC loads the target sensor library, and adds the identification information of the additional sensor to the sensor data record.
