Abstract
A method for detecting a node of a server device includes the following steps. When a node performing a boot procedure at a server slot is detected, a serial number of the node and a slot ID of the server slot are obtained. Then, a step is performed to determine whether the serial number exists in a first data row of a comparison list, and whether the first data row is corresponding to the slot ID. When the first data row is not corresponding to the slot ID, a data address recorded in the first data row is moved to a second data row corresponding to the slot ID. When not existing in the first data row, the serial number is used to update a third data row corresponding to the slot ID, and the data pointed by a data address recorded in the third data row are deleted.
