摘要： An information handling system having plural processing modules, such as an information handling system blade chassis having plural information handling system blades, allocates power by determining an actual load sharing power loss associated with plural power supplies and applying the actual load sharing power loss to determine how much power to allocate to the information handling system modules. A chassis manager determines actual load sharing power loss by retrieving power information from plural power supplies. The actual load sharing power loss replaces a worst-case load sharing power loss assumed value to increase the amount power available for allocation to the information handling system modules.

摘要： An information handling system management subsystem power manager adjusts power consumption of the management subsystem based on operational conditions at the information handling system. The power manager powers down the management subsystem when the information handling system is powered down so that the management subsystem performs substantially only those functions needed to reboot itself to an operational state. If a power up command is received, the management subsystem reboots to an operational condition so that it can then restart the information handling system. In one embodiment, the power manager adjusts the clock of a processor that executes the management subsystem to maintain utilization of the processor within a predetermined range.

摘要： An information management system is disclosed and can include a server chassis having a chassis control panel. The chassis control panel can include a real time clock. Further, the system can include a chassis management controller connected to the chassis control panel. The chassis management controller can include logic to determine whether the chassis management controller is active and logic to read a time from the real time clock when the chassis management controller is active. The system can also include a chassis device removably engaged with the server chassis. The chassis device can include logic to load a time protocol client when the chassis device boots before chassis device is fully booted and to retrieve the time from the time protocol server within the chassis management controller. Accordingly, the chassis device can detect when an event occurs and time stamp the event before the chassis device fully boots.

摘要： A server information handling system integrated management controller selectively communicates management information between a baseboard management controller and either a network remote console session or local I/O devices, such as a display, a keyboard, a mouse or a KVM appliance. Display information is communicated from the baseboard management controller to a display by writing from the baseboard management controller through a unified memory controller to a display frame buffer for presentation at the display. Keyboard, mouse and KVM information is communicated through a USB host to the baseboard management controller or, in an operational state, is communicated from the USB host to a USB client for use by the server information handling system. In an operational state, a break sequence selectively interfaces the I/O devices with the server information handling system or the baseboard management controller.

摘要： Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to use memory as a shared interface between a management controller (e.g., such as embedded baseboard management controller “BMC”, embedded service processor, non-embedded management controller, etc.) and a network controller of an information handling system (e.g., such as a server) in order to achieve a relatively high speed data path between a network and the management controller, and without requiring the use and/or presence of a high speed physical connection to and/or from a sideband interface of the network controller.

摘要： A system and method for synchronizing multiple backplanes within an information handling system are disclosed. An information handling system includes a first controller that may be operable to generate a time command at a predetermined time interval. A backplane including a second controller is communicatively coupled to the first controller. The second controller may be operable to receive the time command from the first controller and calculate a skew for the time command based at least on a location of the backplane. The second controller may further be operable to adjust a time domain of the backplane based on the calculated skew for the time command to synchronize the backplane.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed that may be implemented to locally and remotely record, control, monitor and analyze sounds generated in an information handling system environment, e.g., such as in a server environment. Among other things, remote monitoring and observation of sound in a data center environment may be implemented to assist administrators with data center management and forensics analysis related to physical chassis events (e.g., such as chassis access and/or chassis intrusion), as well as providing live streaming, and local technician recorded sound bite capabilities. A sound policy may also be implemented involving server sound optimizations that works in conjunction with system thermal and power algorithms.
