Provided are devices and methods relating to temperature control in a solid state drive (SSD). One embodiment include a SSD including a housing including a plurality of sides surrounding an interior region. The SSD includes at least one vent on the housing, the at least one vent configured to be opened and closed in response to a signal. The SSD also includes a temperature sensor and a controller, the controller configured to send a signal to open the at least one vent when a temperature sensed inside the interior region reaches a first temperature, and the controller configured to close the at least one vent when a temperature sensed inside the interior region reaches a second temperature, wherein the first temperature is greater than the second temperature. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Automatic vent for SSD cooling enhancement

An extension device is positioned within a point-to-point link to connect two devices, where the extension device includes error detection circuitry to detect a set of errors at the extension device. The extension device further includes memory to store an event register, where the extension device is to write data to the event register to describe detection of an error by the error detection circuitry. The extension device further includes a transmitter to transmit a notification signal to indicate the detection of the error and presence of data in the evert register associated with the error.

Mechanism of enabling fault handling with PCIE re-timer

A system includes a processor coupled to an integrated circuit. The processor includes a non-volatile memory to store instructions to perform a boot process. The boot process is discontinued to prevent unauthorized use of the processor if a value received from the integrated circuit in response to a first value sent to the integrated is not valid.

Method and apparatus to prevent unauthorized operation of an integrated circuit in a computer system

In some examples, a control unit is configured to control a computer server rack having a first grid power source, a second grid power source, and a battery backup system. The control unit is adapted to monitor a failed status of one or more power supply units in the computer server rack, to determine location information relating to the one or more power supply units having the failed status, to determine input power of the one or more power supply units having the failed status, to adjust an input power of the first grid power source based on the determined input power, and to adjust an input power of the second grid power source based on the determined input power.

Provided are devices and methods relating to temperature control in a solid state drive (SSD). A SSD () including a housing () including a plurality of sides surrounding an interior region. The SSD () includes at least one vent () on the housing (), the at least one vent () configured to be opened and closed in response to a signal. The SSD () also includes a temperature sensor and a controller, the controller configured to send a signal to open the at least one vent () when a temperature sensed inside the interior region reaches a first temperature, and the controller configured to close the at least one vent () when a temperature sensed inside the interior region reaches a second temperature, wherein the first temperature is greater than the second temperature.

One embodiment provides an apparatus. The apparatus includes power thermal awareness solution (PTAS) logic to select a model from a plurality of models based, at least in part, on a configuration of a cooling zone; and determine a cooling zone volumetric airflow based, at least in part, on the selected model.

Power thermal awareness solution

Technologies may provide for detecting, validating, or confirming the validity of a handwritten signature. A logic architecture may be employed to detect a digital handwritten signature and validation data associated with a signature event, and to send the signature and the validation data to a trusted server. The logic architecture may validate the digital handwritten signature based on the signature and the validation data. Additionally, the logic architecture may present the digital handwritten signature with a reference to confirm the validity of the signature. The reference may be associated with identifying information corresponding to the event to confirm the validity of the signature.
