    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for enabling a flexible PCIe topology in a computing system. The flexible PCIe topology can allow a user to adjust PCIe connections between CPUs and components of the computing system based upon a specific application. In some implementations, the computing system comprises a plurality of CPUs, a plurality of GPUs or Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), a plurality of PCIe switches, and a plurality of network interface controllers (NICs). In some implementations, the computing system comprises a switch circuit to connect the plurality of CPUs, the plurality of PCIe switches, and the plurality of NICs. The switch circuit comprises a plurality of inputs and a plurality of outputs to connect the plurality of CPUs, the plurality of PCIe switches and the plurality of NICs. Connection routes within the switch circuit can be adjusted to set a specific PCIe topology of the computing system.

    Abstract: A bridge array for connecting electronic components within a housing includes an array bracket and a plurality of connection modules coupled to the array bracket. Each connection module includes a first electrical connector configured to receive a first electronic component, and a second electrical connector configured to receive a second electronic component; thereby physically and electrically connecting the first electronic component and the second electronic component of each connection module. The array bracket includes a first electrical port electrically connected to the first electrical connector of each connection module. The first electrical port provides a common connection to the first electronic component of each connection module. The array bracket includes a second electrical port electrically connected to the second electrical connector of each connection module. The second electrical port provides a common connection to the second electronic component of each connection module.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining whether an optical cable matches a port on a switch device. The present disclosure can provide for a switch device which includes a cable identification tool. The cable identification tool can be configured to receive a port configuration table from a management device. The switch device can then obtain features of at least one cable attached to a port of the switch device. The switch device can then compare the obtained features with a table entry in the port configuration table to yield a comparison result. The table entry can correspond to the port to which the at least one cable is attached. Based on the comparison result, the switch device can generate one or more notifications. The notifications can indicate a match status of the at least one cable to the port.

    Abstract: A service controller on a computing device can be configured to redirect serial output over a network using HTTP. For example, the service controller can be configured with a web server that can receive the serial output and stream the serial output to a web browser over an HTTP connection. In some implementations, the HTTP connection can be a WebSocket connection, as defined by the HTML5 specification. In some implementations, a proxy server can be configured with a web server that can receive serial over LAN (SOL) output from multiple servers and stream the SOL to a web browser on a client device.

    Abstract: An adaptable rack chassis for accommodating electronic component sleds of differing widths and heights is disclosed. One example chassis includes side walls and a back wall with registration features at different heights. Shelves may be attached to the registration features at different heights. The front end of the side walls may be attached to shelves at different heights. Another example chassis may have an adaptable horizontal bus bar structure that is located to the back of two side walls. Another example chassis may have vertical bus bar structure that may be adjusted over the width between side walls.
