A chipset implemented in a server node of a server system and including an embedded management controller (eMC) is disclosed. The eMC collects inner-node information of the server node for server system management. The eMC is coupled to a baseboard management controller (BMC) that is outside the server node and communicates with a remote console through a network. The eMC is specially designed for the corresponding server node to be differentiated from the other server nodes also coupled to the BMC. All eMCs coupled to the same BMC boot in a special way.
