The application relates to a circuit board for a server system. The circuit board is adapted to be installed either in a server of a first type or in a server of a second type different from the first type. The circuit board includes connections for receiving assembly groups and a controller to provide a counting order to the connection depending on the server in which the circuit board is connected being a first type or a second type.

Circuit board for a server system and server system

A computer system assembly has a computer system and an external management device, as well as use of a storage unit in a computer system. Included in the computer system, is an energy supply device; as well as a management unit, which controls and/or manages system parameters based upon system parameter data; and, at least one separate interface for connecting an external management device (smartphone, tablet PC or a notebook, for example). The computer system also has at least one storage unit, which is connected to a management unit for the internal exchange of system parameter data. The at least one storage unit is connected to the at least one separate interface for the external exchange of system parameter data and is operable externally by the separate interface(s) independent from the energy supply device.

Computer system, arrangement with a computer system and an external management device, as well as the use of a storage unit in a computer system

The invention relates to a modular computer system (), comprising a chassis () having a plurality of receiving bays () for receiving corresponding function modules (), in particular server modules (). The modular computer system () comprises a non-volatile memory device arranged in the chassis () and at least one controller arranged in the chassis () and connected to the memory device. Here, the memory device is configured to store configuration data of a plurality of function modules (). The memory device is configured to receive requests to write, read and/or delete configuration data received by a function module () accommodated in a receiving bay (), to map the requests on an address space of the memory device and to transmit corresponding control commands to the memory device. The invention further relates to a server module () for use in such a modular computer system ().

Modular computer system and server module

An assembly includes a plurality of power supply units for producing an output-side operating voltage from at least one input-side supply voltage and at least one power-consuming component which is electrically coupled to the plurality of power supply units. The assembly has a controller arranged to monitor the function of the plurality of power supply units and to switch the power-consuming from a normal operating mode into a restricted operating mode, whose power consumption is lower than that of the first operating mode, when at least one power supply unit fails or to activate a previously deactivated power supply unit.

Assembly with at least two power supply units and at least one power-consuming component, computer system and method for control of an assembly

A computer system includes at least two power supply units providing an output-side operating voltage from at least one input-side supply voltage, at least one power-consuming component operated in at least one normal operating mode with a first power consumption and operated in a restricted operating mode with at least one second power consumption lower than the first power consumption, the power-consuming component electrically coupled to the at least two power supply units; a controller coupled to the at least two power supply units and the power-consuming component; and at least one management component coupled to the controller.

Apparatus and method for controlling a computer system with at least two power supply units

The invention relates to a data processing system with a main board, in which main board has at least one multipoint connector, in which at least one riser card is accommodated, and a first daughter card is accommodated in first riser card in such a manner that first daughter card is arranged parallel to main board. The data processing system further comprises a second multipoint connector, wherein a second riser card is accommodated in second multipoint connector, and a second daughter card is accommodated in second riser card in such a manner that second daughter card is arranged parallel to main board. The First multipoint connector and the second multipoint connectors are arranged on opposite outer sides of the main board. Each daughter card comprises a respective I/O interface which each cooperates with a common rear panel and is pointed towards the common rear panel. Relative to second daughter card, first daughter card is arranged rotated by 180&#xb0; about an axis running parallel to main board.
