摘要： A distributed, shared memory computer architecture that is organized into a set of functionally independent processing nodes operating in a global, shared address space. Each node has one or more local processors, local memory and includes a common communication interface for communicating with other modules within the system via a message protocol. The common communication interface provides a single high-speed communications center within each node to operatively couple the node to one or more external processing nodes, an external routing module, an input/output (I/O) module. The common communication interface that facilitates the ability to incrementally add and swap the nodes of the system without disrupting the overall computing resources of the system.

摘要： A computer which includes a computer chassis and a door is disclosed. The chassis includes a slot and the door includes a corresponding slot which are aligned when the door is in the closed position so as to create an opening which extends through the chassis and through the door. A tab assembly is inserted into the opening. The tab assembly includes two tabs which are coupled together such that the tabs may move laterally with respect to each other. The tabs may be moved into an extended position such that they latch the door to the chassis. A padlock may then be inserted into an opening within the tab assembly so as to lock the tab assembly in the extended position and thereby lock the door to the chassis.

摘要： The present invention is drawn to a system for attaching and supporting a cable to an IO panel of an electronic component such as the IO back panel of a computer. The system is comprised of a cable dock coupled to an IO panel, with a gasket disposed within the cable dock to form a conducting path from the IO panel to the cable backshell. In particular, a cable dock is fixed to the IO panel where an IO connector is exposed. Once the cable backshell is plugged into the cable dock, the cable dock provides mechanical support for a cable assembly comprising the cable-end connector, the cable backshell and the cable. The cable assembly is secured by the cable dock rather than by the coupling made between the cable-end connector and the IO connector. The cable dock also orients the cable-end connector in coupling to the IO connector such that the cable backshell is prevented from being incorrectly plugged into the cable dock. Finally, the gasket disposed within the cable dock shortens the typical electrical conducting path between the IO back panel and the cable assembly. Unlike the prior art connector systems, current flows better between the IO panel and the cable assembly to form an EMI shield. Also, unlike the prior art EMI shielding, this EMI shield is well suited for shielding high frequency EMI.
