Abstract: Presented herein are improvement to computer system architecture. In one embodiment, a method includes reconfiguring system interconnect links disposed between a first central processing unit socket and a second central processing unit socket, disposed together on a single motherboard, as peripheral bus links; and transmitting electrical signals, via the peripheral bus links, and via a printed circuit board that bridges the second central processing unit socket, to at least one input/output functional block that is disposed on the single motherboard and that is selectively connectable to the second central processing unit socket.

Abstract: This disclosure describes multiplexed optical transceivers, such as DWDM multiplexer/demultiplexers, which are aggregated in a server chassis to establish a fabric topology interconnecting blade servers to a dedicated switch module. Blade servers installed in the server chassis can utilize not just Ethernet interfaces to connect to network segments, but also PCIe interfaces as well as a combination of Ethernet and PCIe interfaces. The aggregated optical transceivers multiplex and demultiplex wavelength-specific optical signals using a laser source, reducing power consumption over switched fabric ASICs. Servicing of the multiplexed optical transceivers is facilitated by installation and replacement of a laser source. Scaling and redundancy of fabric topology interconnects can be facilitated by selection of laser sources generating expanded ranges of discrete wavelengths. Furthermore, chassis management can be facilitated by configuring network controllers of blade servers to transport chassis management instructions over the fabric topology in-band over a network interface, rather than by an out-of-band pathway.
