摘要:
An apparatus and method to determine if a device error rate equals or exceeds a threshold. In an apparatus embodiment, a system comprises a device, and an interrupt handler executable by a processor. The interrupt handler executes, upon expiration of a time period, to determine if a threshold error rate associated with the device has been equaled or exceeded.
摘要:
In at least some embodiments, a system comprises a plurality of electrical devices and management logic coupled to the electrical devices. While the electrical devices are each in a pre-boot environment, the management logic obtains information from the electrical devices and uses the information to determine electrical compatibility of, and/or configure, the electrical devices.
摘要:
Example methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to diagnose temperature-induced memory errors are disclosed. A disclosed example method to diagnose a temperature-induced memory error includes detecting a memory error associated with a memory device, and writing a highest measured temperature of the memory device in the memory device when the memory error is detected, the highest temperature measured temporally near the detected memory error.

摘要:
A method for configuring a computer system memory, includes powering on the computer system; retrieving options for initializing the computer system; assigning to a first segment of the memory a first pre-defined setting; assigning to a second segment of the memory a second pre-defined setting; and booting the computer system.
摘要:
A method and system manages revisions of software code for one or more servers in an infrastructure. An indication of the version of the code currently residing with one of the servers is transmitted to the infrastructure. An indication of the version of the code currently residing with the infrastructure for the server's type is also transmitted to the one of the servers. A determination is made as to whether the server's version should be updated to the infrastructure's, whether the infrastructure's version should be updated to the server's, or neither based on the transmitted indications in view of a set of preconfigured update rules. If the infrastructure's version should be updated to the server's, the image of the code currently residing with the infrastructure is replaced with an image of the code currently residing with the server. If the server's version should be updated to the infrastructure's, the image of the code currently residing with the server is replaced with an image of the code currently residing with the infrastructure for the server's type.
摘要:
Using a cryptographic co-processor in a computing system to encode data parameters determined during initialization, or during operation, or determined from machine specific values or states to bind data optionally to a specific machine, a specific cryptographic co-processor, or a specific operating environment machine state.

In at least some embodiments, a computer system includes a processor and a firmware storage medium in communication with the processor. The firmware storage medium stores a default image invoked during a boot process and selectively stores a customized image. If the customized image is stored by the firmware storage medium, the boot process selectively substitutes at least part of the default image with at least part of the customized image.
摘要:
A computer system powers off upon operation of a power switch when the power switch is enabled. A switch mask enables and disables the power switch without intervention by an operating system of the computer system.
摘要:
A system includes a storage subsystem capable of being set in at least a first mode and a second mode. When operating the storage subsystem in the first mode, redundant information is stored in a first portion of the storage subsystem in the first mode. An indication is received to indicate that a mode of the storage subsystem is to be changed from the first mode to the second mode. In response to the indication, the mode of the storage subsystem is changed from the first mode to the second mode. In the second mode, non-redundant information is stored in the first portion of the storage subsystem. The mode of the storage subsystem is changed without resetting the system.
