Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for managing components within a server using radiofrequency communications. The methods and apparatuses disclosed employ a server having a chassis with a plurality of slots. Each slot of the plurality of slots is configured to connect a removable electronic component to the chassis. The server also includes a controller configured to manage the removable electronic components connected to the chassis. The server also includes at least one RFID reader communicatively connected to the controller. The at least one RFID reader is configured to interrogate one or more RFID tags of the removable electronic components connected to the chassis and provide information from the one or more RFID tags to the controller.

Abstract: A method of monitoring I2C bus status using a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and a hardware watchdog (HW) circuit is provided. The method includes detecting, using the HW circuit, a failure of an I2C bus and determining if the HW circuit can auto reset I2C devices on the I2C bus. The method also includes, if it is determined that the HW circuit can auto reset the I2C devices on the I2C bus, resetting, using the HW circuit, the I2C devices, and if it is determined that the HW circuit cannot auto reset the I2C devices on the I2C bus, reporting, using the HW circuit, detected failure to the BMC. The method further includes processing, using the BMC, the detected failure.
