    Abstract: A server system includes an enclosure, a first section, a motherboard section, a fan section, and a midplane board. The first section is disposed at a first end of the enclosure and includes at least one heat generating component. The motherboard section is disposed at a second end of the enclosure and includes at least one motherboard. The fan section is disposed between the front section and the motherboard section and includes at least one fan for directing air in from the first end and out of the second end. The midplane board is vertically interposed between the fan section and the motherboard section, and is configured to electrically and communicatively couple the at least one motherboard to one or more components in the first section, and includes one or more airflow cutouts. The one or more airflow cutouts of the midplane board make up at least thirty percent of a cross-sectional surface area of the midplane board.

    Abstract: A two way charging-discharging circuit structure has a main system and a secondary system. When the main system is connected to the secondary system, the sequence for discharging the battery modules may be controlled, and the to-be-discharging battery module will not be charged. The battery modules of the main system and the secondary system may be charged simultaneously if the power of the power adapter is large enough.

    Abstract: A power supply unit that allows measurement of the capacitance without interrupting operation of the unit is disclosed. The unit includes a controller that causes a voltage change of a capacitor from a first threshold voltage between two periods of time. The time difference of when the voltage reaches a second threshold voltage is measured and the capacitance is determined from the time measurement, voltage change and power dissipation. The determination of capacitance may be performed while the power supply unit is actively supplying power.

    Abstract: A riser card is disclosed. The riser card includes a circuit board that has two sides, two longitudinal edges extending along a length of the board, and two orthogonal edges extending along a width of the board. The card also includes a first bus connector along one of the longitudinal edges; a second bus connector on one side of the board extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal edges; and a third bus connector on the other side of the board extending substantially parallel to the orthogonal edges. The second bus connector is configured to connect an add-on unit to the card so that the add-on unit extends substantially perpendicular from the board. The third bus connector is configured to connect an add-on unit to the card so that the add-on unit extends substantially parallel to the board and the first edges.

    Abstract: A method and system to automatically configure a port on an Ethernet switch is disclosed. An Ethernet switch including a port connectable to a node is provided. A system node is coupled to the port of the Ethernet switch. The node sends a discovery packet to the Ethernet switch. The discovery packet includes role identity information of the node. The Ethernet switch determines whether the role identity information is matched with a role identification. The Ethernet switch configures the port from configuration data associated with the role identification.

    Abstract: A connector panel allowing the use of different connector ports in proximity to each other is disclosed. The connector panel has a first type of connector port, such as an optical connector port. An articulated assembly is located adjacent the first type of connector port, and includes a second type of connector port. The articulated assembly may be swung out from the connector panel, thereby allowing for a connector to be inserted or removed from the second type of connector port without interference from the first type of connector port.
