摘要:
A protecting circuit for a basic input output system (BIOS) chip of a computer includes a platform controller hub (PCH), an inverting circuit connected to the PCH, a BIOS socket to connect the BIOS chip, and a controlling circuit connected between the inverting circuit and the BIOS socket. The PCH outputs a first signal or a second signal, and a third signal. The inverting circuit outputs an inverted signal with a level contrary to the first or second signal. The controlling circuit receives the first or second signal and the inverted signal, to output a processing signal to the BIOS socket, thereby controlling write-protection states of the BIOS chip.

An apparatus and method controls a speed of a fan in a computer. The apparatus includes a signal generator, a signal buffer, a signal switch, and an integrated baseboard management controller (IBMC). The IBMC includes a general purpose input output (GIPO) pin and a signal output port. The IBMC determines whether the IBMC operates normally by detecting a voltage status of the GIPO pin. The signal generator generates a first pulse width modulation (PWM) signal according to a system temperature of the computer when the IBMC does not operate normally. The IBMC generates a second PWM signal to according to the system temperature of the computer when the IBMC operates normally. The signal switch controls the speed of the fan according to the first PWM signal or the second PWM signal.

An electronic device with redundant fan control function includes a first fan, a first control module, a first power supply, a first switch unit, a second fan, a second control module, a second power supply, and a second switch unit. When the first power supply stops working, the second power supply powers the first fan and the second fan, and the first power supply sends a control signal to turn on the first switch unit to allow a group of control information output by the second control module to control the first fan. Therefore, the first fan and the second fan can work normally to dissipate heat from the electronic device.

A test card includes a power interface, a controller, a test interface, and a test point. The test interface includes a power pin, a start pin, and a data signal pin. The power interface is connected to the controller and the power pin, and also connected to an external power to receive a work voltage. The controller transmits a turn-on signal to the start pin. The test point is connected to the data signal pin. When an interface of a motherboard is connected to the test interface, the power pin, the start pin, and the data signal pin are connected to corresponding pins of the interface of the motherboard. The motherboard outputs a data signal to the test point through the motherboard interface and the test interface after the controller receives the turn-on signal.

A solid state disk assembly includes a solid state disk, a first heat conducting member and a second heat conducting member. The solid state disk includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and a chipset. The PCB includes a front surface, a rear surface, a first end, and a second end. The chipset is mounted on the front surface. The first heat conducting member abuts the chipset for absorbing heat generated by the solid state disk and includes at least a pair of elastic arms. The second heat conducting member attaches on the rear surface and includes at least a pair of engaging arms spatially corresponding to the at least one pair of elastic arms. The first end and the second end are clamped between the at least one pair of elastic arms. Each elastic arm engages with a respective one of the engaging arms.

A motherboard includes a processor, a platform controller hub (PCH), a switch, a power connector, a switch unit, and an expansion slot. The PCH is connected to the expansion slot to output a bus signal to a serial advanced technology attachment dual in-line memory module (SATA DIMM), which is connected to the expansion slot, in response to the movement of a switch. The processor connected to the processor socket outputs a bus signal to an expansion card, which is connected to the expansion slot, in response to another movement of the switch.
