Abstract: An apparatus may include a chassis that can receive a sled and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism can mechanically lock the sled to the chassis to prevent a sudden power loss that can be caused from an unexpected removal of the sled from the chassis. To avoid a sudden power loss, a voltage-sensing electrical switch lock can be implemented to the chassis to mechanically lock the sled to the chassis until the sled is ready to be removed. The sled may include one or more computing devices that need to be inactive before removing the sled. The apparatus includes a controller that may detect whether at least one of computing devices in the sled are in an active state or in an inactive state. Based on the determination of the state of the computing devices in the sled, the controller may activate the locking mechanism or de-active locking mechanism.

Abstract: A server rack includes a rack management controller (RMC) configured to manage a first function and a backplane including a backplane controller (BPC). The BPC is configured to monitor the RMC, determine that the RMC is unavailable, and manage the first function, in response to determining that the RMC is unavailable.

Abstract: A system includes a top-of-rack, a first plurality of chassis, and a first backplane. The first plurality of chassis each includes at least one rack module and a chassis network switch that connects to each of the at least one rack module. The first backplane includes a first backplane network switch that connects to the top-of-rack and connects to each of the first plurality of chassis via the chassis network switch of each of the first plurality of chassis.

Abstract: In some implementations, a rack management controller can dynamically manage power supply units in a server rack system. For example, the rack management controller can determine how many power supply units should be powered on based on the power requirements of the server rack system. The management controller can configure a power management controller to turn on the determined number of power supply units. The rack management controller can receive status signals from the power supply units in the server rack. The rack management controller can detect when a power supply unit fails based on the status signals. The rack management controller can dynamically reconfigure the power management controller to replace the failed power supply unit by turning on a reserved power supply unit.
Abstract translation: 在一些实现中,机架管理控制器可以动态管理服务器机架系统中的电源单元。 例如,机架管理控制器可以根据服务器机架系统的电源要求来确定应该接通多少个电源单元。 管理控制器可以配置电源管理控制器来打开确定数量的电源单元。 机架管理控制器可以从服务器机架中的电源单元接收状态信号。 机架管理控制器可以根据状态信号检测电源单元何时出现故障。 机架管理控制器可以动态重新配置电源管理控制器,通过打开预留电源单元来更换故障电源单元。
