Chapter 4 Start-up
Li Shiming was not content to lead an ordinary life. Although he had memories from his past life that included knowledge such as how to build generators, there was not much that he could fully remember and implement, especially considering the requirements of this world.
Without the help of large servers, there was very little he could do.
But with the assistance of large servers, the paths before him would be endless.
With these thoughts in mind, he activated the uninterruptible power supply connecting to the large server IBMz15, and then he started up the IBMz15.
The various indicator lights on the cabinet-style body of the large server began to light up. Li Shiming noticed a rapid decline in the electricity within the uninterruptible power supply, plunging almost to the warning line with just one startup.
Anxiously, he realized that if there wasn't sufficient power to support it, even a brief startup and power failure could potentially damage the internal components of the large server.
His consciousness entered the IBMz15, and instantly he had a complete understanding of the server's status.
The main power consumers were the self-checks performed by the CPU and memory. With his mind, he turned off the CPUs one by one, leaving only one CPU running, and reduced the memory to 64G as well.
All storage units, except for the Linux system and a small amount of usable space, were also completely shut down.
This step significantly reduced the power consumption of the large server to a level the uninterruptible power supply could handle.
The IBMz15 was far more complex than the uninterruptible power supply. If it were not for his extreme familiarity with the IBMz15, having maintained it for an entire year, he would not have been able to operate it so swiftly and directly with his consciousness.
Observing the server from within was a completely different sensation from opening the cabinet to examine it.
