Abstract: An information handling system includes an air mover and a thermal manager. The thermal manager identifies an air mover identification event for the air mover; in response to identifying the air mover identification event: places the air mover in a type identification state, and while the air mover is in the type identification state, identifies a type of the air mover; and, after identifying the type of the air mover, places the air mover in an active state based on the type of the air mover.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage medium, for receiving a request to switch a mode of an information handling system (IHS) from a multi-socket mode to a multi-single socket mode; in response to receiving the request, placing each socket of the IHS in an auxiliary power state independent of each other; after placing each socket of the IHS in the auxiliary power state, altering parameters of the sockets of the IHS, including: altering CPU straps, power sequencing, reset sequencing, and bus re-direction associated with one or more of the sockets of the IHS; and in response to altering the parameters of the sockets of the IHS, switching the mode of the IHS from the multi-socket mode to the multi-single socket mode such that a processor for each socket is a bootstrap processor.

Abstract: A processing subsystem/endpoint subsystem connection configuration system includes a plurality of processing subsystems and a multi-endpoint adapter device that provides a plurality of endpoint subsystems. A bus exchange switch device couples the plurality of processing subsystems to the plurality of endpoint subsystems, and a connection configuration engine is coupled to the multi-endpoint adapter device and the bus exchange switch device. The connection configuration engine receives a connection resource request that requests connection resources for a first processing subsystem that is included in the plurality of processing subsystems. Based on the connection resource request, the connection configuration engine causes at least one of the plurality of endpoint subsystems to perform a first connection resource change operation. The connection configuration engine then configures the bus exchange switch device to provide the connection resources for the first processing subsystem.

Abstract: A processor/endpoint communication coupling configuration system includes a plurality of processing subsystems coupled to a multi-endpoint adapter device by a plurality of communication couplings included on at least one hardware subsystem. A communication coupling configuration engine identifies each at least one hardware subsystem, determines at least one communication coupling configuration capability of the plurality of communication couplings, and determines at least one first multi-endpoint adapter device capability of the multi-endpoint adapter device. The communication coupling configuration engine then configures the plurality of communication couplings based on the at least one hardware subsystem, the at least one communication configuration capability, and the at least one first multi-endpoint adapter device capability in order to provide at least one communication resource between at least one of the plurality of processing subsystems and at least one endpoint on the first multi-endpoint adapter device.

Abstract: A method may include in response to determining a host system is off, configuring a video controller of an information handling system including setting a display resolution of the video controller and writing management video data associated to a primary frame buffer such that management video data is able to be retrieved by the video controller for output to one or both of a first display associated with the host system and a second display of a management interface communicatively coupled to a management controller communicatively coupled to the processor and the memory and configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system. The method may further include in response to determining the host system is on, writing the management video data to an alternate frame buffer such that management video data is able to be retrieved by the video controller for output to the second display.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for power loss protection of one or more storage resources may include receiving information from each of the one or more storage resources regarding power loss protection capabilities of such storage resource. The method may also include based on the information, repurposing, for each power loss protection capable storage resource, a communications channel between a logic device and such power loss protection capable storage resource for transmission of a respective early power-off warning signal for such power loss protection capable storage resource. The method may further include in response to a power event of a power supply unit for providing electrical energy to the one or more storage resources, asserting for each power loss protection capable storage resource its respective early power-off warning signal.
