Abstract
A port configuring method, an assembly and a hard-disk expanding device. The back-panel controller may, when the memory stores the port-configuration-topology type corresponding to a port configuring instruction, control an expanding chip to be powered off and subsequently powered on. After the expanding chip has been powered on, a target signal corresponding to the port-configuration-topology type is transmitted to the expanding chip, whereby the expanding chip reads a port-configuration firmware mirror image corresponding to the target signal from the internal memory, and based on the port-configuration firmware mirror image, configures the ports of the expanding chip itself. The present application increases the efficiency of the configuring of the ports of the expanding chip, which may reduce the cost on the hardware production and maintenance.
