    Abstract: A computer system processor incorporates a special S-latch which may only be set by secure signals. One state of the S-latch sets the processor into a secure mode where it only executes instructions and not commands from an In Circuit Emulator (ICE) unit. A second state of the S-latch sets the processor into a non-secure mode. A non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is written with secure data which can only be read by boot block code stored in a BIOS storage device. The boot block code is operable to read the secure data in the NVRAM and set the S-latch to an appropriate security state. If the boot block code cannot set the S-latch, then remaining boot up with BIOS data is stopped. On boot up the boot block code reads the NVRAM and sets the S-latch into the appropriate security state.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for exclusively binding data to a data processing system. The logical binding apparatus of the present invention includes a detachable circuit device mounted within a system planar. Data to be bound within the system planar is stored in a memory device within the detachable circuit device. A battery signal is applied from the system planar to a binding pin on the detachable circuit device, wherein the binding pin is applied to the input of a binding latch. The binding latch remains in a reset state while the battery signal is applied. Upon removal of said binding signal from the binding pin, the binding latch is set thus signaling a processing unit within the detachable circuit device to remove the data from the memory device.

    Abstract: A folding keyboard for a data processing system having two or more keyboard sections, keys attached to the keyboard sections, and a keyboard housing for receiving the keyboard sections. The keyboard may be configured to assume an extended position in which each of the keyboard sections is extended, and may be further configured to assume a second position in which each of the keyboard sections are collapsed. The keyboard may be further configured to transmit in response to a change in the extension state of the keyboard, a state signal to the data processing system for directing the data processing system to transition between a wake mode and a sleep mode. The keyboard may include one or more connectors attached to the keyboard sections for transitioning the keyboard from the extended position to the collapsed position, may include one or more rollers for facilitating movement of the keyboard between the extended position and the collapsed position, and may include one or more locks for selectively maintaining the keyboard in the extended position or the collapsed position.

    Abstract: A method for remotely powering up a computer, includes: receiving a telephone call by a device coupled to a powered down computer; determining an originator's telephone number for the telephone call; determining if the originator's telephone number matches one of a plurality of authorized telephone numbers; and powering up the computer if the originator's telephone number matches one of the plurality of authorized telephone numbers. The method and system utilizes the well known “Caller-ID” technology to determine the originator's telephone number for a telephone call received by a modem coupled to the computer. If there is no match, the computer remains in a powered down state. In this manner, the system discriminates between the received telephone calls, and avoids powering up the computer when the received call is not for this purpose. This avoids wasting power.

    Abstract: A periodic system “wake-up” is implemented during S1, S2 or S3 states utilizing a hardware timer. A memory scrubbing routine is initiated that reads out all memory locations and writes back any memory locations that have single bit (correctable) Error Correction Code errors. This procedure minimizes the chances of a multiple bit error build up over time that may cause an unrecoverable error. The scrubbing routine is invoked whenever the system is brought out of S1, S2, or S3 state to insure that there are no single bit errors present when full system operation is resumed.

    Abstract: A data processing system and method are described for permitting a server computer system to perform remote diagnostics on a malfunctioning client computer system coupled to the server computer system utilizing a network. The server computer system transmits a diagnostic command to the malfunctioning client computer system utilizing the network. A network adapter operating as a bus controller for an internal bus within the malfunctioning client computer system executes the diagnostic command. The network adapter transmits a result of the execution of the diagnostic command to the server computer system. In this manner, the diagnostic command is executed within a malfunctioning client computer system by a remote, server computer system.
