    摘要: A method of making a diamond heatsink includes securing a number of spaced diamonds to a sacrificial plate and then metallizing them with, for example, a thin layer of gold, silver, copper or aluminium. The plate and the diamonds are subsequently metal plated with a similar metal to the metallization until the diamonds are completely covered. The sacrificial plate is removed and the exposed surface cleaned and polished. Finally the assembly is diced to produce a number of individual heatsink assemblies.

    摘要: A server blade includes a printed circuit board (PCB), including a connector for connecting the blade to a backplane comprising a local bus, and a removal mechanism for use by a person to disconnect the connector from the backplane for removal of the blade from a chassis while the chassis is powered up. The server blade also includes an I/O link and a server, each affixed on the PCB. The server transmits packets on the I/O link to a storage controller enclosed in the chassis. The packets include commands to transfer data to at least one storage device controlled by the storage controller. A portion of the storage controller, affixed on the PCB, receives the packets from the server on the I/O link, and forwards the commands on the backplane local bus to another portion of the storage controller affixed on a separate PCB enclosed in the chassis.

    摘要: A fault-tolerant mass storage system includes two RAID controllers that communicate via a PCI-Express link. Each controller has a bus bridge coupled to the link, a cache memory that caches user data for storage on disk drives controlled by the controllers, and a CPU. The CPU fetches and executes program instructions from a CPU memory coupled to it. The CPU programs the bus bridge with window information defining a window of locations within the CPU memory, which is less than an entirety of the CPU memory. The bus bridge receives data on the link from the other controller and if the header of a packet containing the data indicates it is destined for the CPU memory, the bus bridge translates the address of the data so as to write the data safely to the CPU memory, but only within the window and nowhere else within the CPU memory.

    摘要: A system for performing an efficient mirrored posted-write operation having first and second RAID controllers in communication via a PCI-Express link is disclosed. The first bus bridge transmits a PCI-Express memory write request TLP to the second bus bridge. The TLP header includes an indication of whether the first CPU requests a certification that certifies the payload data has been written to the second write cache memory. If the indication requests the certification, the second bus bridge automatically transmits the certification to the first bus bridge independent of the second CPU, after writing the payload data to the second write cache memory. The first bus bridge generates an interrupt to the first CPU in response to receiving the certification. The certified transfer may be used to validate and/or invalidate mirrored copies of a write cache directory on the RAID controllers, among other uses.

    摘要: A storage controller configured to adopt orphaned I/O ports is disclosed. The controller includes multiple field-replaceable units (FRUs) that plug into a backplane having local buses. At least two of the FRUs have microprocessors and memory for processing I/O requests received from host computers for accessing storage devices controlled by the controller. Other of the FRUs include I/O ports for receiving the requests from the hosts and bus bridges for bridging the I/O ports to the backplane local buses in such a manner that if one of the processing FRUs fails, the surviving processing FRU detects the failure and responsively adopts the I/O ports previously serviced by the failed FRU to service the subsequently received I/O requests on the adopted I/O ports. The I/O port FRUs also include I/O ports for transferring data with the storage devices that are also adopted by the surviving processing FRU.

    摘要: A network storage appliance is disclosed. The appliance includes a single chassis that encloses a plurality of servers and a plurality of storage controllers coupled together via a chassis backplane. The storage controllers control the transfer of data between the plurality of servers and a plurality of storage devices coupled to the storage controllers. The servers and storage controllers include a plurality of field replaceable unit (FRUs) hot-pluggable into the backplane such that any one of the FRUs may fail without loss of availability to the storage devices' data. In various embodiments, the chassis fits in a 19″ wide rack; is 1U high; the servers are standard PCs configured to execute off-the-shelf server applications and to facilitate porting of popular operating systems with little modification; the servers include disk-on-chip memory rather than a hard drive; local buses (e.g., PCIX) on the backplane interface the various FRUs.

    摘要: A method of fabricating two terminal mesa semiconductor devices comprising etching a surface doped and metal coated silicon slice thereby to form a plurality of silicon frusta each capped by a metal contact pad, covering the frusta side of the slice with a metal contact continuity layer and then with a handle layer formed to lie parallel with that surface of the silicon slice which is remote from the frusta, lapping away the silicon slice to expose parts of the handle layer which extend between the frusta so that the frusta are separated so as to define discrete mesas held together by the handle layer, forming one of the two terminals on a face of the mesas remote from the contact pads, removing the handle layer to reveal the contact pads and bonding each contact pad thereby revealed to the metallized face of a diamond heat sink, one heat sink to each contact pad, which heat sink forms a part of the other of the two terminals of each mesa semiconductor device.

    摘要: A copy-protected compact disc includes, within a single session, a table of contents (TOC) and a Video CD index (VI). Each track (T) is prefaced by unrecoverable data (UD) at a track start position (ATOC) indicated by the table of contents (TOC). However, the Video CD index (VI) indicates the actual position (AP) of the tracks. DVD players use the Video CD index (VI) to locate the tracks, while CD-ROM drives use the table of contents (TOC) and read the unrecoverable data (UD), which prevents them from reading the subsequent track (T). The unrecoverable data (UD) may be prefaced by data pointers (DP) which cause the CD-ROM drive to load a player program in response to the error condition. The player program can be used to play the tracks (T), but restricts copying. Subchannel data (P; DX) causes audio CD players to ignore the Video CD index (VI) and the unrecoverable data (UD), and to play the tracks (T) at their actual start positions (AP).
