摘要： Described is a midplane-less data storage enclosure having a control board module with an electrical connector and a bulkhead assembly with a plurality of spaced-apart disk-drive guides coupled to a bulkhead. The disk-drive guides and bulkhead together define a plurality of disk-drive slots. The bulkhead has connected thereto a plurality of first electrical connectors and a second electrical connector in electrical communication with each of the first electrical connectors. Each slot slidably receives a storage disk drive such that the storage disk drive electrically connects to one of the first electrical connectors. The second electrical connector is electrically connected to the connector of the control board module so that each storage disk drive connected to one of the first electrical connectors is in electrical communication with the control board module.

摘要： A system and method is disclosed in which service dispatch data records are generated and sorted for display. Service dispatch records are generated from data in a product database and a service provider database. A dispatch generation tool generates the service dispatches, and a service dispatch management module sorts and displays the service dispatch data records.

摘要： A data storage system has a first storage processor, a second storage processor, and a communications subsystem. The communications subsystem has (i) an interfacing portion interconnected between the first storage processor and the second storage processor, (ii) a clock circuit coupled to the interfacing portion, and (iii) a controller coupled to the interfacing portion and the clock circuit. The controller is configured to enable operation of the interfacing portion to provide communications between the first and second storage processors, sense a failure within the clock circuit, and reset the interfacing portion in response to the sensed failure to enable one of the first and second storage processors to continue operation. Such resetting of the interfacing portion prevents the remaining storage processor from locking up, thus freeing that storage processor so that it is capable of continuing to operate even after the failure.
