METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INITIALIZING SMART NETWORK INTERFACE CARD BY SERVER, DEVICE, AND MEDIUM

Provided are a method and apparatus for initializing a smart network interface card by a server, a device, and a readable medium. The method includes: establishing communication between a baseboard management controller (BMC) of the server and a BMC of the smart network interface card; configuring an integrated I/O module (IIO) of a central processing unit (CPU) by a server host, and initializing the smart network interface card in response to starting up the server; determining in response to configuration of the IIO of CPU by the server host is completed, by the BMC of the server through the communication with the BMC of the smart network interface card, whether the smart network interface card is completely initialized; connecting the IIO of CPU to the smart network interface card by the server host, and continuing executing startup process in response to initialization of the smart network interface card is completed.
