A system management controller includes a processing module and a removable storage device interface. The removable storage device interface is connectable to a removable storage device. The removable storage device pre-stores a controller configuration file. In response to connection of the removable storage device interface to the removable storage device, the processing module accesses the controller configuration file from the removable storage device and configures the system management controller according to data in the controller configuration file.

System management controller and method of configuration file backup and recovery

Disclosed is a baseboard management controller (BMC) that may include a bootloader, and an interface to a removable storage device having a first firmware file. The bootloader may be configured to load the first firmware file from the removable storage device for the BMC to run a kernel.

Baseboard management controller and method of loading firmware

A flow control device and a related cooled electronic system are provided. The electronic system comprises a first heat dissipation component and a second heat dissipation component. The flow control device controls an amount of an air flow to the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component. In one illustrative embodiment, the flow control device comprises: a memory metal component coupled to the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component and a movable component comprising a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to a point between two ends of the memory metal component and the second end is movable with respect to the first end. In response to a temperature difference between the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component, the second end approaches the first heat dissipation component or the second heat dissipation component.
