    摘要: Monitoring a plurality of field-replaceable units (FRUs) in an enclosure using two or more microcontroller-equipped power supplies to detect an FRU failure. Upon detection of an FRU failure, a first signal indicative of the failure is communicated from at least one of the microcontroller-equipped power supplies to one or more small computer system interface (SCSI) repeaters over an I2C bus. The one or more SCSI repeaters report a second signal indicative of the failure to one or more central electronics complexes (CECs) over one or more SCSI busses. The first signal may, but need not, be substantially identical to the second signal.

    摘要: An input/output (I/O) and disk expansion subsystem is provided for an electronics rack which provides expanded I/O and/or disk storage capabilities to electronic subsystems of the rack. The expansion subsystem includes a subsystem enclosure having first and second sides in opposing relation, with the first side accessible through a front of the rack and the second accessible through a back of the rack when the enclosure resides within the rack. A plurality of field-replaceable units reside within the subsystem enclosure, and are accessible and removable through the first or second sides of the enclosure without removing the enclosure from the rack. The field-replaceable units include an input/output adapter cage(s), a storage device cage, power and control supplies, fan assemblies, and a midplane connector assembly. The adapter cage, storage device cage, and power and control supply dock to and are electrically interconnected by the midplane connector assembly.

    摘要: An energy management control method and controller reduce power supply current and/or subsystem cooling overhead that reduces system efficiency, may reduce system reliability and may increase ambient noise. Multiple device connectors are supplied from corresponding soft switches that are programmed to provide a current level that is sufficient to supply the maximum current for the device installed in the corresponding device connector. The current level may be determined from device information provided from the device during initialization, which may directly specify a maximum current requirement. Alternatively, the maximum current requirement can be determined from other device-identifying information such as a unique device identifier. As a result a guaranteed maximum current or power and power dissipation can be determined, and multiple power supplies and/or cooling devices such as air movement devices (AMDs) may be enabled, disabled or otherwise controlled accordingly.
