摘要:
A system and method for controlling airflow in a computer system enclosure are described herein. A computer system includes an enclosure and an airflow controller. The enclosure is configured to contain a plurality of compute nodes. The airflow controller configured to control a flow of air provided to each of the plurality of compute nodes. The airflow controller is configured to receive unsolicited requests for airflow from each of the plurality of compute nodes. The airflow controller is further configured to control airflow provided to a given compute node based on the unsolicited airflow requests received from a subset of the compute nodes, including the given node. The subset of the compute nodes is assigned to a same airflow zone by the airflow controller.

In accordance with at least some embodiments, a system (100) includes an aggregator backplane (124) coupled to a plurality of fans (120A-120N) and power supplies (122A-122N) and configured to consolidate control and monitoring for the plurality of fans (120A-120N) and power supplies (122A-122N). The system (100) also includes a plurality of compute nodes (102A-102N) coupled to the aggregator backplane (124), wherein each compute node (102A-102N) selectively communicates with the aggregator backplane (124) via a corresponding interposer board (130A-130N). Each interposer board (130A-130N) is configured to translate information passed between its corresponding compute node (102A-102N) and the aggregator backplane (124).
摘要:
Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with managing memory health are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes logic for detecting and correcting single bit memory errors. The example system may also include logic for selectively making unavailable a memory location associated with single bit memory errors.
摘要:
A system comprising a processor and a removable solid-state storage unit adapted to be accessed by the processor and comprising information. Upon detecting the presence of the storage unit, the processor copies the information to a system storage coupled to the processor. The processor accesses the information from the system storage in response to a request to access a different storage apparatus.

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with firmware modification are described. One system embodiment includes modification utility configured to modify a less-than whole portion of the archive based on a modification request. The system embodiment may also include a nonvolatile memory containing an archive of one or more firmware components.
摘要:
An embodiment of a method for remotely controlling power consumption of at least one server, including providing remote control to an administrator over a power state of at least one server, building an instruction command and encoding it into a suitable format for transport over a data network from an administration terminal to the at least one server, and interpreting the command and executing the command by the at least one server without powering down the at least one server.
