A server system includes a rack, a power supply module, a switch, and a plurality of servers. The rack can be divided into a plurality of rack units. The rack units are parallel to each other and vertically arranged. The power supply module and the switch are disposed in close proximity to each other in at least one of the rack units. The power supply is adjacent to the rear side of the rack. The switch is adjacent to the front side of the rack. Each of the servers is disposed in one of the other rack units and electrically connected to the power supply module and the switch.

Server system

A server system may include a plurality of internal hubs communicatively coupled to a plurality of server nodes. The plurality of internal hubs may communicate with an external hub to transmit broadcast traffic to reach a designated server node. A hub controller, a routing device coupled to the plurality of internal hubs, may select an internal hub from among a plurality of internal hubs based on a link status and a set of hub selection rules. Based on a status of active link and a relative priority of internal hubs, an internal hub is selected as a transmission channel to receive broadcast traffic from the external hub and direct the broadcast traffic to a corresponding server node.

System and method for avoiding deadlock in transmission of broadcast traffic in a server system

An apparatus having a first interface of a first type supporting a plurality of data ports, a second interface of a second type supporting at least a portion of the plurality data ports, and a third interface of the second type. The apparatus also including a switching module coupled to a control port of the first interface and configured for selectably coupling the plurality of data ports to at least one of the second interface and the third interface based on a signal at the control port.

Riser card

A rack system for a server includes a number of server units, which includes first to the third sets of server units, voltage converter, first to third power supply circuits. The voltage converter receives and converters a three-phase alternating current (AC) power signal to provide first to third single-phase power signals. The first to the third sets of power supply circuits respectively provides firs to third direct current (DC) power signals according to the first to the third single-phase power signals. The first set to the third set of server units is respectively powered by first to the third DC power signals or respectively powered by first part, second part, and third part of the first to the third DC power signals.

Server rack system

A system for switching between a high performance mode and dual path mode is disclosed. The system includes a first device, a second device, a third device, and a switch configured to receive control signals, and in response causing the switch to selectively couple one or more first lanes of the first device or one or more second lanes of the second device to third lanes of the third device to yield enabled lanes. The system also include a number of the enabled lanes is less than or equal to a number of the third lanes, and the switch is configured to route the enabled lanes associated with the first device to a first portion of the third lanes in an increasing order and to route the enabled lanes associated with the second device to a second portion of the third lanes in a decreasing order.

System for switching between a single node PCIe mode and a multi-node PCIe mode

Provided herein is a rack server including a rack, a plurality of system boards and a fan plate. The system boards are disposed within the rack, and each system board has a first wireless transceiver. The fan plate is also disposed within the rack, and the fan plate has a plurality of second transceivers, and the second transceivers are wirelessly connected to the first transceivers, respectively.

Rack server

A server rack system including a plurality of power supply units, a monitoring circuit, a rack management controller (RMC), and a plurality of server nodes is provided. The monitoring circuit is for monitoring the power supply units. The RMC is for monitoring the power supply units. When the monitoring circuit and/or the RMC finds that at least one of the power supply units failed to output a normal voltage, an operation status of the server nodes is lowered or at least one of the server nodes is forcibly shut down.

Server rack system and power management method applicable thereto

A rack system for a server includes a number of server units, which includes first to the third sets of server units, voltage converter, first to third power supply circuits. The voltage converter receives and converters a three-phase alternating current (AC) power signal to provide first to third single-phase power signals. The first to the third sets of power supply circuits respectively provides first to third direct current (DC) power signals according to the first to the third single-phase power signals. The first set to the third set of server units is respectively powered by first to the third DC power signals or respectively powered by first part, second part, and third part of the first to the third DC power signals.

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.
