Zusammenfassung:A system includes a switch unit (14) that is connected to a host connector (13) of a computer (1), an embedded controller (EC) (11) that is connected to the switch unit (14), and a management device (2) that includes a device connector (23) and a microcontroller (21). The device connector (23) is connected to the host connector (13). The microcontroller (21) is connected to the device connector (23), and sends external data via the device connector (23) to the EC (11). When the EC (11) is supplied with electricity, the EC (11) controls the switch unit (14) to establish an electrical connection between the EC (11) and the host connector (13) so as to allow the EC (11) to communicate with the microcontroller (21) through the EC (11) and the host connector (13) to receive the external data from the microcontroller (21).
