A method and computer system are disclosed for controlling a system boot of the computer system. Both involve determining that a chassis of the computer system was opened, determining whether the opening of the chassis was authorized, and controlling the system boot of the computer system based on whether the opening of the chassis was authorized.

Method and system for controlling system boot

The present disclosure provides flexible coupling of processor modules. An exemplary computing device, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, can include a processor module with a plurality of processors and a plurality of module output ports associated with each processor. Each of the processors can include a plurality of chip communication channels (CCCs). The CCCs can be coupled to the module output ports of a first processor and can be coupled to other processors in the plurality of processors. The present disclosure additionally provides for a local mode or cooperative mode configuration. A local mode provides for a four-way connection between four processors and a cooperative mode provides for an eight-way connection between eight processors.

Flexible coupling of processor modules

A dual CMC structure is disclosed for a rack mounted structure. The structure has a first chassis with power supplies, a first chassis management controller, and a first set of network devices. A second chassis includes power supplies, a second chassis management controller and a second set of network devices. The respective chassis management controllers obtain status data of the power supplies, as well as status data from the other chassis management controllers. The first chassis management controller is designated as the master controller and reports the status data from both the first and second chassis. The structure is operable to change communication of the status data to the second chassis management controller, in the event the first chassis management controller fails.

Disclosed are a system, method, and computer-readable medium for optimizing a fan control system inside a rack system. In at least one example embodiment, the system can include a rack server with a plurality of chassis each having at least one node, each of the nodes including at least one adjustable air vent and configured for adjusting the at least one adjustable air vent based on an air flow requirement of the node. The system can further include a plurality of fans, where the plurality of fans are configured to operate based on a control signal. The system also can comprise a fan control logic board, wherein the fan control logic board is configured to receive from each node in the plurality of chassis the air flow requirements and based on the plurality of air flow requirements generate and transmit the control signal to the plurality of fans.

Optimized and intelligent fan control mechanism inside rack system

A rack server system controlled by a remote controller includes a number of server units and a middle plane board. Each of the server units includes a baseboard management controller (BMC), a server-end connector, and a server-end switch, coupled to the BMC and the server-end connector for regulating communication operation therebetween. The middle plane board includes an integrated connector and a plane-end switch, coupled to the server-end switches of each of the server units and the integrated connector for regulating communication operation thereamong. The remote controller is coupled to the rack server system via one of the integrated connector and the server-end connectors and manages the communication operation of the server units.
