    Abstract: A system and method for insuring efficiency of a serial link between a host server and a switch is disclosed. A fabric switch has upstream ports associated with a serial link. A fabric controller is coupled to the switch. A host server includes a BIOS and a management controller. The host server has ports coupled to the serial link ports via cables to form lanes of the serial link. A memory is accessible by the controller and the management controller. The management controller reads an expected speed and width of the serial link from the memory. The BIOS determines an actual speed and width of the serial link. The management controller sends an error message if the actual speed and width do not match the expected speed and width.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for reducing the amount of management ports (and associated cabling) for a top-of-rack server environment. Whereas other server management configurations have cabling connecting each node in multiple multi-node chassis in a server rack to a top-of-rack, systems configured as described herein designate a single node as a point of communication for the multi-node chassis. The designated node forwards communications for all nodes in the chassis to a chassis management controller, which acts as a distribution point for all communications within the multi-node chassis, with the benefit of only a single connection being required between the multi-node chassis and the top of rack switch.

    Abstract: A portable electronic device is provided. The portable electronic device includes a display unit, an input unit and a hinge member. The hinge member is detachably connected to the display unit and pivotally connected to the input unit, and the hinge member and the display unit are rotatable relative to the input unit around a rotary axis. The display unit has at least a slot and the hinge member has at least a guide pin corresponding to the slot. The guide pin has a first slope structure and a vertical surface structure. The first slope structure and the vertical surface structure are arranged in a direction parallel to the rotary axis.

    Abstract: A system and method to ensure the proper operation of a power supply unit in an electronic device. The electronic device has a chassis with a length and a width that includes one area having electronic components. A system fan is located in the chassis relative to the electronic components to generate air flow in the direction of the length of the chassis through the electronic components. A power supply unit is located in parallel to the system fan relative to the width of the chassis. The power supply unit includes an AC input, a DC output and an internal fan. A controller is operable to control the system fan to reduce the air flow when the power supply unit turns on AC power to the AC input, or wakes up from a cold redundant state and outputs DC power from the DC output.

    Abstract: An equipment rack with a compact adjustable cable management arm is disclosed. The equipment rack includes a plurality of chassis slots arranged vertically. Each chassis slot is operable to hold at least one removable electronic device. A pair of side rails supports the plurality of chassis slots. An adjustable cable management arm is located on one end of the side rails. The adjustable cable management arm has at least a first vertical position allowing access to one of the chassis slots. The adjustable cable management arm has a second vertical position allowing access to another of the chassis slots blocked by the cable management arm when the cable management arm is in the first vertical position.
