    摘要: A SAS target device, e.g., SAS disk, may instantiate an asynchronous event notification (AEN) transaction while still conforming to SAS protocol standards. When the SAS target has an event queued up for notification to a host controller but there is no host initiated communication going on for the SAS target to attach the notification, then the SAS target may start an AEN timer. If the AEN timer expires and the AEN is still pending, then a request is made to the SAS target to notify the host controller using a SAS PHY level out of band (OOB) mechanism. The OOB message may be sent via a new OOB signal or by sending a COMINIT signal from the SAS disk PHY, requiring a link reset and then using a bit in an IDENTIFY frame for the pending AEN. Receiving and issuing an AEN may then be communicated during PHY initialization.

    摘要: Determining whether there exists an input-output (I/O) fabric conflict (mismatch) between a blade I/O fabric daughter card of a blade compute module and an I/O interface module of a blade compute module system, and if a conflicts does exit then taking action to correct this I/O fabric mismatch. An I/O fabric router may be coupled between the blade I/O fabric daughter cards and the system I/O interface modules. If a matching I/O interface fabric exists then the I/O fabric router will couple the blade I/O fabric daughter card to the matching I/O interface fabric. If there is no matching I/O interface fabric then the blade I/O fabric daughter card may be decoupled from the blade compute module system so that the associated blade compute module may otherwise function, and an alert may be sent regarding the I/O fabric conflict (absence of an I/O fabric match) for the I/O fabric daughter card of the blade compute module.

    摘要: A method for arbitrating between processor and host bus snoop accesses to a cache subsystem in a multiprocessor system where the processor does not allow for processor cycle aborts. When a processor access and a snoop access both occur and no tag access or tag modify cycle is currently being performed, the snoop access is given priority over the processor access. After an initial arbitration, if any, the processor and snoop accesses alternate tag access if both processor and snoop accesses are active. This balances any wait states incurred between the processor and the host bus and ensures that neither bus is locked out by continual accesses by the other. In addition, tag modify cycles are generally run immediately after the tag access cycles that initiate them.

    摘要: For dynamically cooling an input/output (I/O) controller, a presence of the I/O controller is automatically detected. The I/O controller includes an electronic component capable of generating heat that is greater than a predefined amount when the electronic component is operating in a predefined state. The I/O controller provides a control output in response to a demand indicative of operating the electronic component in the predefined state. The control output is provided to a baseboard management controller (BMC) that is capable of providing additional cooling to the I/O controller in response to the control signal.

    摘要: A blade server module in an information handling system may have secure environment and authorized removal modes in non-volatile memory. If the secure environment mode is set in the blade server module, then the authorized removal mode is read to determine whether it also is set. If both of these modes are set then authentication keys of the inserted blade server module and blade server chassis are verified as being properly associated. If the authorized removal mode is not set when the blade server module is inserted into a server chassis or authentication keys are not verified as being properly associated then the blade server module power-up sequence is disabled. The authentication keys may be administrator/user defined. The secure environment and authorized removal modes may be set and cleared by the administrator/user.

    摘要: An SAS RAID adapter comprises an input-output processor (IOP) and at least two SAS input-output controllers (IOCs). Wherein SAS links coupled to each of the IOCs form “virtual ports” in order to increase performance and maintain availability. The virtual ports across the at least two IOCs have wide port SAS link capability so as to provide performance enhancements similar to a standard SAS wide port. Even if a single IOC failure occurs, downshifting to N/2 links is provided with degraded aggregated bandwidth (data throughput) instead of a failover and/or system shutdown.
