In accordance with at least some embodiments, a system () includes an aggregator backplane () coupled to a plurality of fans (A-N) and power supplies (A-N) and configured to consolidate control and monitoring for the plurality of fans (A-N) and power supplies (A-N). The system () also includes a plurality of compute nodes (A-N) coupled to the aggregator backplane (), wherein each compute node (A-N) selectively communicates with the aggregator backplane () via a corresponding interposer board (A-N). Each interposer board (A-N) is configured to translate information passed between its corresponding compute node (A-N) and the aggregator backplane ().

Methods and systems for an interposer board

A server computer system includes a set of visual indicators for representing status of one or more data storage devices that are connected to one or more nodes of the server system. Control circuitry has at least first and second bus interfaces and is configured to set the state of the visual indicators responsive to signals received through the bus interfaces, and to operate in at least first and second configurable modes. In the first mode, both of the first and the second bus interfaces communicate with a single node. In the second mode, the first bus interface communicates with a first node and the second bus interface communicates with a second node.

Configurable control of data storage device visual indicators in a server computer system

A power meter receives an output-voltage and a current-indicative signal generated by at least one power supply of an electronic system. The output voltage powers at least one electronic component of the electronic system. The current-indicative signal indicates a percentage of a maximum output current capacity at which the power supply is producing current. From the output voltage and the current-indicative signal, the power meter determines the input power received by the power supply.

Power metering using current-indicative signal

The specification discloses a system and related method for ensuring that power supply units operated in a parallel fashion evenly distribute the load among them. More particularly, the specification discloses a system and related method for correcting current sharing signals produced by each power supply unit for offsets induced by imperfections in the electronic circuitry that produces the current sharing signals.
