Abstract
According to an aspect of an embodiment, a server system includes a service processor, a plurality of system boards and a plurality of crossbar boards connecting the system boards. The service processor includes a first notifier that notifies each of the crossbar boards of a crossbar board subjected to maintenance. The crossbar boards each include a first transmitter that, when notified by the service processor that the crossbar board subjected to maintenance is another crossbar board, generates a suspension packet for suspending packet transmission to the another crossbar board and transmits the suspension packet to each of the system boards. The system boards each include a suspender that, when receiving the suspension packet from the crossbar board, suspends packet transmission to the crossbar board subjected to maintenance.
