Abstract
A server system and a heat dissipation control method thereof are provided. A main power supply and a standby power supply respectively supplying a main voltage and a standby voltage of the server system are provided. An extension card module including at least one extension card slot allowing at least one extension card to insert into, is provided. A fan module including at least one fan used for dissipating heat from the extension card module is provided. When the main voltage is applied to the server system, the main voltage is applied to the fan to drive the fan. When the standby voltage is applied to the server system, the extension card module is determined whether to be inserted in any extension card. If yes, the standby voltage is applied to the fan to drive the fan; otherwise, the standby voltage is interrupted to stop the fan.
