摘要： Systems and methods for thermally isolating multiple energy producing entities and for monitoring the operational status of each entity. A thermal dielectric placed between each of the multiple energy producing entities creates isolation or containment zones, and a monitor provided within each isolation or containment zone determines the operational status of each entity. The thermal dielectric minimizes the adverse impact a failed entity can have on neighboring entities by isolating loads generated from each individual energy producing entity. The thermal dielectric also helps isolate a monitor within one isolation or containment zone from conditions existing in a neighboring zone. Each monitor helps to identify the operational status and conditions of one of the isolation or containment zones and a corresponding one of the entities located within such zone. By minimizing the thermal interaction of loads generated by neighboring entities, each entity is less susceptible to overheating or failure due to excess thermal or other energy produced from one of the entities, and each monitor may more accurately identify the operational status of the zone and entity within which the monitor is associated. False indications of the operational data of an entity and zone are minimized as a result.
摘要翻译：用于热隔离多个能量产生实体并监测每个实体的运行状态的系统和方法。放置在多个能量产生实体中的每一个之间的热电介质创建隔离或容纳区域，并且在每个隔离或容纳区域内提供的监视器确定每个实体的操作状态。热介质通过隔离从每个单独的能量产生实体产生的负载来最小化失败的实体对相邻实体可能产生的不利影响。热电介质还有助于将监测器隔离在一个隔离或收容区内，避免邻近区域中存在的状况。每个监视器有助于识别其中一个隔离或遏制区域的操作状态和状况以及位于该区域内的相应实体之一。通过最小化由相邻实体产生的负载的热相互作用，每个实体由于从一个实体产生的过热或其他能量而不太容易发生过热或故障，并且每个监视器可以更准确地识别区域和实体的操作状态显示器在其中关联。因此，实体和区域的操作数据的虚假指示被最小化。

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for securely providing power supply commands. A security feature is added to the remote management of power-on and power-off sequences. The feature allows for multiple controller nodes to receive a command to initiate a power sequence. Each controller node possesses a unique identifier. The nodes compare the received command with received commands of other nodes to confirm that each node received identical power commands. The security feature prevents inadvertent power commands from being received and executed by a single controller node. The unique identifier of each node must be provided before execution of the power command occurs.

摘要： An apparatus to detect a fiber channel miscabling event includes a module configured to identify a connection made between first and second unlike devices in a fiber channel topology. If an unlike connection identified to have been made the module enables an upstream port of the second device, leaving a downstream port of the second device disabled. A method to detect a fiber channel miscabling event includes detecting a fiber channel cable connection configuration, determining whether a connection is made between first and second unlike fiber channel units, and enabling an upstream port of the second fiber channel unit while keeping a downstream port of the second fiber channel unit disabled if an unlike connection is determined to have been made.

摘要： A serial SCSI (SAS) storage drive system includes a drive enclosure having a first interface card coupled to one storage controller over a single SAS path and a second interface card coupled to another storage controller over a different single SAS path. At least one disk drive within the enclosure is assigned to the first storage controller and interconnected to the storage controller through the first interface card. At least a second disk drive within the enclosure is assigned to the second storage controller and interconnected to the storage controller through the second interface card. The interface cards are selectively interconnected with each other through a crossover port. In the event of a failure in a storage controller or an interface card, the crossover port may be activated, thereby maintaining access to both sets of disk drives.
