    摘要: A blade server performance management method and system is proposed, which is designed for use with a blade server including a cluster of server modules to provide a performance management function on the clustered server modules with the purpose of allowing all the clustered server modules in the blade server to have sufficient power load to operate normally as well as protecting each of the clustered server modules from being burned out due to an overly high working temperature during high-performance operation.

    摘要: A hot-pluggable peripheral input device coupling system is proposed, which is designed for use to couple one or more peripheral input devices, such as a keyboard and a mouse, to a network server, such as a blade server, for the purpose of allowing the user to input data and commands to the blade server via the keyboard and mouse. The proposed hot-pluggable peripheral input device coupling system is characterized by the provision of at least two management control modules with one serving as a redundant backup module to the other so that in the event of a failure to the active one, the blade server can nevertheless be functionally linked to the externally connected keyboard and mouse via the redundant backup module. The invention can therefore help enhance the efficiency of network system management on blade servers.

    摘要: A multiplexed computer peripheral device connection switching interface is proposed, which is designed for use with a clustering computer system equipped with a plurality of independent processing units, such as a blade server system equipped with a plurality of server modules; and which is characterized by the capability of allowing a set of peripheral devices (i.e., keyboard and mouse) to be shared by the multiple server modules in a multiplexed manner without having to utilize the more restrictive and lowly compatible USB-to-PS2 converter. This feature allows the multiplexed computer peripheral device connection switching interface of the invention to have a higher cross-platform capability across server platforms with different operating systems.

    摘要: An I/O unit access switching system and its method are implemented on a plurality of servers respectively having a baseboard management controller (BMC) and an intelligent platform management system (IPMI). The servers are connected to a switching device, itself connected to a set of I/O devices such as keyboard, mouse, and monitor. When the control module of one server is activated, the BMC of the server delivers an activation signal to the switching device. According to the received activation signal, the switching device transmits an interrupt signal to the microprocessor unit. The microprocessor unit accordingly outputs a switching signal to an I/O function multiplexer that, in response, switches access to the I/O devices to the requesting server from which the activation signal was received. Through the I/O function multiplexer, the I/O devices can then be used in conjunction with the selected server.
