Abstract
A system for controlling power sources of motherboards under test through networks includes a central server (), a serial device server (), a bus distributor (), a number of power controllers (), and a number of testing computers (). The central server sets testing parameters, and transmits instructions regarding turning on or off power sources of the testing computers to the serial device server, in order to control the power sources of the testing computers. The serial device server converts the instructions into serial instructions, and generates corresponding serial signals. The bus distributor distributes an address for each power controller, receives the serial signals, and transmits the serial signals to corresponding power controllers. Each power controller turns on power sources of corresponding testing computers in which motherboards under test are installed according to the received serial signal. A related method is also disclosed.
