    摘要: A data storage and retrieval system that comprises a data storage device is disclosed. The data storage and retrieval system further comprises a first LED, a second LED, a third LED, and a fourth LED, interconnected with the data storage device. The data storage device causes the first LED and the second LED to emit first light comprising a first color if the data storage device detects an internal failure. Alternatively, the storage device causes the third LED and the fourth LED to emit second light comprising a second color if the data storage device remains operative.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for automatically and transparently managing addresses in an arbitrated loop network. An arbitrated loop network switch is programmed with an address map and configured with the necessary modules to monitor an address assignment process and associate soft assigned addresses claimed during the address arbitration process with physical slot addresses. In one embodiment, the address fields of packets addressing a specific physical slot are changed (in route) to the soft address assigned during the address arbitration process. The entire process may be transparent to the rest of the network and to users. The present invention facilitates maintaining a physically ordered addressing scheme despite any soft addressing that occurs during loop initialization.

    摘要: A firmware update system includes a high-level management device implementing high-level management software application that selects a redundant embedded processor as a master sub-system. Firmware update images are transmitted to the master sub-system over a primary communication path. The master sub-system re-distributes the firmware update images to other associated redundant embedded processors over secondary communication paths. This reduces communication-bandwidth utilization over direct communication paths between the high-level management system and the other associated redundant embedded processors.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for detecting and reporting network mis-cabling. One embodiment of the apparatus includes a detection module, a comparison module, and a cabling connection module. The detection module is configured to detect a new connection at a network switch. The new connection is formed by physically connecting a network cable to the network switch, at one termination, and to another network device, at another termination. The comparison module is configured to compare the new connection to a connection rule, where the connection rule defines either a legal cabling connection or an illegal cabling connection. The cabling connection module is configured to control whether or not the new connection is inserted into the data network or maintained isolated from the data network. Certain implementations of the present invention beneficially allow a new network connection to be verified prior to logical insertion so that potential mis-routing of data and other mis-communications within the data network may be avoided.

    摘要: A computer keyboard includes a first key having a first function positioned adjacent to a second key having the first function, both keys integrated into the computer keyboard. Each of the keys is independently operable to perform a rapid operation of the first function. The keys are operable to be depressed in an alternating manner to perform the first function, such as an accelerated backspace function. A keyboard includes first and second backspace keys separated by a zigzagged boundary, again integrated into the keyboard. A method of manufacturing a keyboard includes providing a first key having a first function positioned adjacent to a second key having the first function, again integrated into the keyboard.
