Abstract: A reversible fan tray device is provided for a power supply unit. The fan tray device includes a mounting panel to be removably mounted to the power supply, a fan unit secured to the mounting panel to provide airflow through the electronic device, and an interconnection board secured to the mounting panel to provide an electrical connection between the fan unit and the power supply unit. The mounting panel can be positioned in either of two orientations, the first orientation to draw external air into the power supply unit and the second orientation to force internal air out of the power supply unit. The interconnection board mates with a connector on the power supply unit when the fan tray cassette is in either of the two orientations. The interconnection board provides an airflow direction indication to the power supply unit for an existing orientation of the two orientations.

Abstract: Multi-chassis systems determine their topology and self-organize through a discovery process. The systems include one or more chassis, each with individual blades and ports, which are serially chained together. When the discovery process is initiated, chassis identification data in buffers in each chassis is propagated to adjacent chassis and is then used to initiate communication via a network connection. Once the chassis are able to communicate via the network connection, at least one chassis in the system receives the chassis identification data of each chassis and can thereby identify each chassis. The chain is then divided into one or more sync-groups and master and slave chassis are designated. Each sync-group is configured to ignore data from other sync-groups. Domains are also configured from sets of ports within each sync-group. Events that may trigger the discovery process include power-up, the connection of a cable, the removal of a cable, or instructions to transition from normal mode to discovery mode.

Abstract: Protocol analyzers systems and methods coordinate the capture of network data of interest across multiple chassis. Each chassis has individual blades with accompanying ports and is serially connected to other chassis in the system. Selected ports from each chassis are configured in domains that can be spread across the serially connected chassis and used in coordination to capture network data of interest. A serial protocol containing control signals is used to transmit run, stop, and trigger data between the serially connected chassis and thereby coordinate the activity of ports within each domain. Through the use of the serial protocol the number of wires connecting adjacent chassis is minimized and each of the blades in the multi-chassis systems can be synchronously started, stopped, and triggered at the same time to synchronously capture the network data of interest.
