    摘要: The cage-supported hard disk drives in a computer server system are coupled to connectors on the cage back plane circuit boards and are controlled by a pair of array controller cards which are hot-plug connected in a redundant manner on the system I/O board using a pair of connectors mounted on the I/O board, each connector having first and second sets of electrical contacts thereon. Connector edge portions of the array controller cards are plugged into the I/O board connectors and have first and second sets of electrical contacts that engage the corresponding first and second sets of electrical contacts on their associated I/O board connectors. Formed on the I/O board are (1) a peripheral interconnect bus structure connected to the first sets of connector electrical contacts, (2) an electrical bus structure connected to the second sets of connector electrical contacts and associated cable connectors, and (3) an intercontroller bus structure connected between the second sets of connector electrical contacts and enabling the two array controller cards to communicate with one another independently of the peripheral interconnect bus structure. Electrical cables are interconnected between the electrical bus structure and the back plane circuit boards to couple the array controller cards thereto in a redundant control manner without requiring direct cable connection to either of the array controller cards.

    摘要: In at least some embodiments, a system comprises a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores processor performance utility instructions and performance adjustment instructions. When executed, the processor performance utility instructions are configured to cause activities of the processor to be counted and to cause a processor utilization value to be determined based on the counts. When executed, the performance adjustment instructions are configured to adjust the processor utilization value based on a comparison of the processor's current operating frequency and maximum operating frequency.

    摘要: A method for phase shedding is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps. At step one power is supplied to a memory sub-system with a multi-phase regulator wherein a maximum number of phases in the multi-phase regulator are enabled. At step two the memory configuration of the memory sub-system is determined. At step three at least one of the phases of the multi-phase regulator is disabled when the memory configuration meets a predetermined criteria.

    摘要: A computer system determines whether a voltage signal that powers a slot circuitry and a card in one of two modes has been properly generated. If so, then the slot circuitry and the card are initialized in the one mode. Otherwise, the slot circuitry and the card are initialized in the other of the two modes.
