摘要： A system and method is disclosed in which the buses of a server computer are monitored through server management software. A data structure for a monitored bus or group of buses is created and stored in a repository of data structures for other monitored devices within the server computer. As events, such as failure events, occur on one or more of the monitored buses, the event is recorded in an event log. Using the server management software, monitoring commands can be issued by the baseboard management controller to each monitored bus to check the status of the bus.

摘要： In accordance with the present disclosure, a method and system for logging recoverable errors in an information handling system is disclosed. The system includes a central processing unit, a chipset coupled to the central processing unit, and at least one chipset memory unit coupled to and associated with the chipset. The system also includes a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), and a memory unit containing a Basic Input Output System (BIOS). A System Management Interrupt (SMI) is periodically invoked. A status register is scanned to detect whether a recoverable error has occurred. If a recoverable error is detected, the system logs the recoverable error in a memory unit associated with the baseboard management controller. The system logs information that indicates a source of the recoverable error and that source's location. If no recoverable errors are detected, the system transmits a communication indicating that no recoverable errors have occurred.

摘要： Systems and methods for providing instant-on functionality on an embedded controller are disclosed. A method of providing instant-on functionality on a controller comprises an initial state, an intermediate state and a final state. The initial state comprises installing a first responder code, enabling the first responder code and enabling a timer interrupt service routine. The intermediate state comprises registering the first responder code as a timer interrupt service routine. The timer interrupt service routine initiates periodic processing. The final state comprises registering a steady-state interrupt service routine.

摘要： An information handling system includes modular processing resources, each having a main processor, system memory, and preferably a service processor resource. A management resource coupled to a service processor resource evaluates a system power budget and allocates power to a processing resource by indicating a critical power level. The processing resource determines a warning power level based on the critical power level and monitor its actual power consumption. If actual power consumption exceeds the critical power level, the processing resource is powered down. If actual power consumption exceeds the warning power level, the processing resource throttles its performance to conserve power and requests a power allocation increase. If actual power consumption is below the warning power level, the processing resource may request a reduction in allocated power.

摘要： An escape sequence coded in power commands from a system controller, such as a BMC, to a cooling fan controller directs the cooling fan to send identification information coded in tachometer readings to the system controller for use by an information handling system. Electronic confirmation of the cooling fan identification ensures compatibility of the information handling system and cooling fan at initial manufacture or subsequent repair. Communication of information over existing power and tachometer wires supports the electronic confirmation without adding additional communication lines. Further, once a communication link is established between an information handling system controller and a cooling fan, other functions are enabled, such as a reflash of the cooling fan controller firmware.
