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