Abstract
A server system and a control method for a storage unit are provided. The server system includes multiple modular devices and a connection device. The storage unit in the modular devices includes a transmission interface expander. The transmission interface expander detects whether connects a former modular device, and sets the storage unit as a slave device of the former modular device when the transmission interface expander connects the former modular device. When the transmission interface expander does not connect the former modular device, the transmission interface expander is set as a storage node and communicates to the external server, and the latter storage unit connected behind the transmission interface expander becomes a slave device of the transmission interface expander.
