20090086422 | Openable Dual-Board Case for Multi-Mainboard System - An openable dual-board case for multi-mainboard system includes a rectangular tubular body assembled from two bent plates connected together via a pivoting structure, so that the two bent plates are pivotally turnably about the pivoting structure relative to each other to open or close the tubular body. With the openable tubular body, necessary system assembling, dismounting, maintaining, and repairing can be conveniently and efficiently performed. Moreover, two mainboards may be separately mounted on two opposite interiors of the bent plates to face toward each other. Therefore, the openable dual-board case allows a multi-mainboard system to have optimal spatial arrangement to achieve best heat-dissipation efficiency and largely reduce noises. | 04-02-2009 |
20090024724 | Computing System And System Management Architecture For Assigning IP Addresses To Multiple Management Modules In Different IP Configuration - A system is provided to assign IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to plural management modules under different IP modes. The system management modules are configured in a computing system that is integrated in a single chassis. All the system management modules are connected through a first management network to be assigned with a static IP address or a DHCP. Besides, a secondary system management network is used for each of the management modules to facilitate the assignment of pre-assigned private IP addresses based on the board IDs of the management modules. When DHCP mode is selected, IP configuration will be performed automatically. Namely in DHCP mode, even if the system is disconnected from the external network, the system management can be done through the system management network with the pre-assigned private IP address. | 01-22-2009 |
20080281475 | FAN CONTROL SCHEME - A fan control architecture is provided for controlling system fan(s) on a computing system that has multiple nodes, a system management network and a fan control module. On each of the nodes a management module is configured to collect system information thereon. In a main fan control scheme, a system management node controls the system fan through the fan control module according to the temperature data sent back from the management module of the other nodes through the system management network. The fan control scheme includes redundant path(s) connected between all the nodes and the fan control module to send high-temperature signals to the fan control module directly. In the case that a threshold high temperature is reached, the fan control module will set the system fan at a predetermined high speed according to the high-temperature signals. | 11-13-2008 |
