A system for controlling data communications, comprising an enclosure management processor configured to generate a peripheral component interconnect express reset command and a chip reset command. A re-timer configured to receive the peripheral component interconnect express reset command and the chip reset command and to control a communications port in response to the peripheral component interconnect express reset command and the chip reset command. The communications port configured to reset in response to a control signal from the re-timer.

PCIe link management without sideband signals

A mid-plane assembly includes a main circuit board portion including a plurality of electrical connectors configured to releasably engage a plurality of devices, a first circuit board portion, and a first electrical coupling assembly configured to electrically couple the first circuit board portion to the main circuit board portion and position the first circuit board portion essentially orthogonal to the main circuit board portion.

Circuit board assembly

A method and system for power management of storage drives. The method includes selecting an initial predetermined dual bit pattern that corresponds to a select power state of the storage drive, for providing to a first and second bit pin of a bit pin pair of a power control circuit that respectively connects to the storage drive. The method includes providing the initial predetermined dual bit pattern to the power control circuit which generates a discrete signal to the storage drive. The method includes encoding the initial predetermined dual bit pattern on the first bit pin and the second bit pin to selectively implement a power change on the storage drive in response to identification of a fault condition. In response to detection of the fault condition, the method includes selectively managing power to the storage drive based on input of the discrete signal.

Encoded drive power enable for storage enclosures with storage drives

A multi-piece storage shuttle for removeably securing a storage device within an enclosure assembly includes a stationary shuttle portion rigidly affixed to the enclosure assembly. A moveable shuttle portion is slidably affixed to the enclosure assembly and is configured to releasably engage the storage device.

A status monitoring system includes a signal generation subsystem configured to receive a plurality of binary status signals from a plurality of monitored subcomponents and encode the plurality of binary status signals to generate a status signal indicative of the status of the plurality of monitored subcomponents. One or more processing subsystems are configured to receive the status signal and control a controlled subcomponent based, at least in part, upon the status signal.

Status monitoring system and method

A user-configurable decoder circuit is associated with a controlled subcomponent and is configured to receive a cumulatively-encoded status signal and compare the cumulatively-encoded status signal to a user-definable threshold that defines a subcomponent policy for the controlled subcomponent.

A signal generation subsystem is configured to receive a plurality of status signals from a plurality of monitored subcomponents within a system being monitored and generate a cumulatively-encoded status signal based, at least in part, upon the plurality of binary status signals, which is indicative of the overall health of the system being monitored.

A status monitoring system includes a signal generation subsystem configured to provide a status signal indicative of the status of one or more monitored subcomponents. A processing subsystem is associated with a controlled subcomponent and is configured to: assign a subcomponent policy to the controlled subcomponent, receive the status signal, compare the status signal to the subcomponent policy, and effectuate a procedure on the controlled subcomponent based, at least in part, upon the comparison of the status signal and the subcomponent policy.

The present invention provides a computer system comprising an enclosure adapted to contain one or more printed circuit boards, the enclosure including a back plane having a recessed port for coupling a data communication cable to a printed circuit board, the recessed port including a receptacle adapter coupled to the printed circuit board adapted to receive a connector of the data communication cable, and a perpendicular clearance space for facilitating alignment of the connector of the data communication cable with the receptacle.
