Abstract

A power failure monitoring system and a method are disclosed herein, where the power failure monitoring system includes a motherboard, a board, a complex programmable logic device (CPLD) and a baseboard management controller (BMC) module. The motherboard includes a central processing unit (CPU) power and a non-CPU power. The board includes a board power. The BMC module includes a register that is electrically coupled to the CPLD. The CPLD is configured to execute a shutdown process when power failure occurs, identify a power failure type, and determine whether to execute a restart process according to the power failure type. If the restart process is executed and a count of the restart process reaches a predetermined count, the CPLD records lock information in the register. The BMC module is configured to record the count of the restart process, and execute a lock process according to the lock information.
