A method for remotely clearing abnormal status of racks includes following steps: obtaining each information of a rack management controller (RMC) and multiple baseboard management controllers (BMCs) of a rack regularly by a management system; recording each operating action performed by manager through the management system; analyzing the information and the operating action by the management system for determining whether any RMC or BMC is under one of multiple default attention-statuses; and, automatically performing a remotely service re-starting procedure to one of the RMC and the BMCs for preventing the RMC or the BMC from occurring an abnormal status when the RMC or the BMC is determined keeping a connection with the management system but about to occur the abnormal status.

A method for remotely clearing abnormal status of racks includes following steps: obtaining each information of a rack management controller (RMC) and multiple baseboard management controllers (BMCs) of a rack regularly by a management system; recording each operating action performed by manager through the management system; analyzing the information and the operating action by the management system for determining whether any RMC or BMC is under one of multiple default attention-statuses; and, automatically performing a remotely rescuing procedure to one of the RMC and the BMCs for eliminating an abnormal connection status from the RMC or the BMC when the RMC or the BMC is determined losing a connection with the management system.

An intellectual rack includes a rack management system, a rack management controller (RMC), a set of internal hardware lines, a plurality of server slots, and multiple servers respectively arranged in the server slots. The RMC is connected with each baseboard management controller (BMC) of each server through the set of internal hardware lines. The rack management system determines whether a server is replaced through the RMC and the set of internal hardwire lines, and confirms a target server slot of the replacing action when determining that one of the servers is replaced. Further, the rack management system assigns an IP address binding to the target server slot for the BMC of the newly-replaced server to replace an IP address currently used by the BMC of the newly-replaced server, so as to keep the binding effect among the target server slot, the newly-replaced server and the IP address.
