Abstract
A method for monitoring hard disks, implemented in an electronic device, includes sequentially detecting a number of hard disk codes of hard disks recorded by a host bus adapter, and determining whether each hard disk code has a drive letter assigned; if one hard disk code is determined to not have a drive letter assigned, writing a first mark corresponding to the hard disk code in a register of the host bus adapter. When detection of all hard disk codes is completed, transmitting the first marks written in the register to a CPLD interface and detecting whether each hard disk corresponding to the first mark is in place. If one hard disk corresponding to the first mark is found to be in place, controlling the hard disk to output an alarm based on the first mark.
