Remote configuration of network interface cards (NICs) on appliances of a scaleable compute resource such as a frame-based system is disclosed. Frames may include a frame link module (FLM). Remote configuration of NICs may allow for multiple networks to be maintained in physical or logical isolation from each other. For example, a management data network may be maintained independently of an application data network. An FLM CPU may detect an appliance, validate compatibility for the appliance, a midplane, a PHY connection, etc. Commands from the FLM CPU may configure the independent networks. Independent networks may provide redundancy and segregation by data type. A controller area network (CAN) bus may deliver configuration commands to a NIC of an attached appliance. Air gap equivalent isolation of networks based on type of network may be achieved while maintaining redundancy of networks to address potential failure of individual components.

Remote network interface card management

An intelligent air moving apparatus for cooling an electronics enclosure includes a motor for driving a fan at a variable rotational speed and a microcontroller for controlling the rotational speed of the motor. The microcontroller includes a speed sensor for sensing the rotational speed such that when the sensed rotational speed deviates below a target speed, the microcontroller detects a locked rotor condition.

Intelligent air moving apparatus

Various exemplary systems and methods for dividing a communications channel are disclosed. In at least some embodiments the method may comprise: coupling a plurality of storage devices to a communication channel, detecting whether the communication channel has been divided into multiple sub-channels, and coupling either a first backplane controller or a second backplane controller to the storage devices based on whether the communication channel has been divided.

Systems and methods for dividing a communications channel

Embodiments of the present technique are directed to a backplane infrastructure. The backplane infrastructure may include a passive power backplane configured to distribute power and comprising a first set of alignment holes, a signal backplane configured to route interface signals and comprising a second set of alignment holes and a set of common alignment pins, each alignment pin having an axis, wherein the set of common alignment pins are inserted into the first set of alignment holes and the second set of alignment holes to align the passive power backplane and the signal backplane about the axis.
