    摘要: A method of providing maintenance for a memory device of a computer system without interrupting operation of the computer system, by partially mirroring a primary memory array in a secondary memory array, wherein the secondary memory array has a different amount of available memory than the primary memory array. Values are copied from the primary memory array to the permanent storage device, allowing the primary memory array to quiesce and be serviced while using the secondary memory array to operate the computer system. Thereafter, the primary memory array is brought on-line, and the mirrored values are written back from the secondary memory array to the primary memory array. The memory service program itself may be embedded in the operating system. In an illustrative embodiment, the primary memory array is located on a first removable memory card, and the secondary memory array is located on a second removable memory card. The amount of memory available in the secondary memory array may be programmable.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for extending initialization of a personal data processing system using multiple levels of bootstrap code is provided. The first level of bootstrap code is stored in a non-volatile memory device associated with a processor of the data processing system. The second level of code is stored on a system partition or other section of a fixed disk memory storage device. The second level of bootstrap code is user configurable, and also provides access to a file system. A first initialization procedure is performed by executing the first level of bootstrap code, where the first initialization procedure performs a memory check self-test of the data processing system and conditions the data processing system for a program load. The second level of bootstrap code is then executed performing a second initialization procedure which performs specific initialization steps according to the configuration of the second level of bootstrap code. A file system containing any required test and initialization code may be accessed by the second initialization procedure. After initialization is complete, the initial program load of an operating system is executed.

    摘要: An apparatus for providing I/O support to a computer system and a method of use thereof is disclosed. The apparatus in accordance with the present invention includes an internal control element located within the apparatus. The control element allows the apparatus in accordance with the present invention to relinquish ownership of the associated I/O devices for the purpose of being used by another computer. Accordingly, through the use of the apparatus in accordance with the present invention, expensive KVM switches and cabling, along with the accompanying I/O devices, are no longer needed to provide I/O support for computer networks. A first aspect of the present invention provides an apparatus for providing I/O support to a computer system. The apparatus comprises an I/O device and an internal control element coupled to the I/O device for relinquishing ownership of the I/O device from the apparatus to the computer network. A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for providing I/O support to a computer system. The method comprises the steps of providing an apparatus wherein the apparatus includes an I/O device and an internal control element coupled to the I/O device and utilizing the internal control element to allow ownership of the I/O device to be relinquished from the apparatus to the computer system.
