A multiple storage node system including a first and second node is provided. The first node includes a first baseboard management controller (BMC), a first flash ROM configured to store a first flash image, and a first switch device configured to connect the first BMC to the first flash ROM. The second node includes an exact configuration of the first node. The first BMC is connected to the second switch device, and the second flash image is the same as the first flash.

Firmware upgrade method in multiple node storage system

Systems and methods are provided for preserving data in memory modules of a computer system. An exemplary method can detect that a software preservation process is needed for a computer system, and thereafter performs the software preservation process. The software preservation process can begin by detecting the initiation of a reduced power mode in a computer system. A syncing process of data contents can then be initiated in a processing unit of the computer system. Next, the computer system can automatically save data contents of a memory module. The software preservation process is completed by turning off a power supply unit of the computer system.

Memory data preservation solution

An electronic device including a housing configured to house one or more electronic components, an air filter, a fan disposed within the housing, and an air pressure sensor disposed within the housing is disclosed. The air filter is disposed within an air inlet defined by the housing. The fan is configured to cause air to enter the housing via the air inlet such that the air flows through the air filter and within the housing. The air pressure sensor generates data used to determine air pressure values within the housing that are based at least in part on the air flowing through the air filter and within the housing. Based on the determined air pressure values from the air pressure sensor, a status of the air filter can be determined, and an indication that the air filter is in need of replacement can be generated and transmitted to a user.

Fan filter replacement mechanism

The present disclosure provides a system and method for controlling a plurality of cooling fan modules using a management controller and a multiplex switch. The multiplex switch connects the management controller to the plurality of cooling fan modules. The multiplex switch can enable the management controller to select a specific cooling fan module from the plurality of cooling fan modules. Once the specific cooling fan module is selected, the multiplex switch can connect to the specific cooling fan module, enable the management controller to monitor operating characteristics of the specific cooling fan module, and control power or current being delivered to the specific cooling fan module.
