摘要： A fan controller is described herein that can be connected to other fan controllers to provide fault information from one controller to the other(s). The fan controllers each control one or more fans. The controllers include signal(s) connected between the controllers that transmit fault information from one fan controller to the other(s) without the involvement of the host processor. Further, the controllers are capable of performing a “free wheeling” test in which idle fans are spun and tested.

摘要： A flexible arrangement allows a single arrangement of Ethernet channel adapter (ECA) hardware functions to appear as needed to conform to various operating system deployment models. A PCI interface presents a logical model of virtual devices appropriate to the relevant operating system. Mapping parameters and values are associated with the packet streams to allow the packet streams to be properly processed according to the presented logical model and needed operations. Mapping occurs at both the host side and at the network side to allow the multiple operations of the ECA to be performed while still allowing proper delivery at each interface.

摘要： A computer system or computer server system having redundant devices that are periodically checked in order to determine whether the redundant devices would be operational if the primary devices failed. The primary and redundant devices are in electrical communication with a controller circuit which, in turn, is responsive to a microprocessor and/or the computer's operating system. The primary and redundant devices can be hot-pluggable so that the computer system does not need to be powered down when and if the primary or redundant devices need to be replaced.

摘要： A computer system in accordance with the present invention provides a method of communicating asynchronous events from a mini-port driver of a computer system to a software component without polling the mini-port driver. The computer system provides a monolithic driver as a dispatch between a mini-port driver and a software component. Until an asynchronous event is detected, an event thread in the monolithic driver to a software component is blocked. When an asynchronous event is detected by the mini-port driver, the mini-port driver calls the monolithic driver with a monolithic driver entry point which queues the event and unblocks the event thread. The monolithic driver provides the asynchronous event to the software component through the unblocked event thread. The event thread is then re-blocked and remains blocked until another asynchronous event is detected. Asynchronous events are thereby communicated from a mini-port driver to a software component without polling the mini-port driver.
摘要翻译：根据本发明的计算机系统提供了将异步事件从计算机系统的小型端口驱动器传送到软件组件而不轮询小型端口驱动器的方法。计算机系统提供单片驱动程序作为微型端口驱动程序和软件组件之间的调度。在检测到异步事件之前，单个驱动程序中的软件组件的事件线程被阻止。当微型端口驱动程序检测到异步事件时，微型端口驱动程序使用单片驱动程序入口点调用单片驱动程序，该入口点对事件进行排队并解除阻塞事件线程。单片驱动程序通过未阻塞的事件线程向软件组件提供异步事件。事件线程然后被重新阻塞，并保持阻塞，直到检测到另一个异步事件。因此，异步事件从微型端口驱动器传递到软件组件，而不轮询小型端口驱动程序。

摘要： A cooling system for a high-end server includes four hot-pluggable fans plugged into a fan control board. The fans are arranged in two groups, with each group having two fans, one behind the other. One of the groups of fans is used to cool the processor boards and the other group is used to cool the system I/O board slots. Under normal operation, only one fan from each group is active, while the other fan freewheels, providing redundancy. A fan control board delivers power to each of the fans and further provides a signal, responsive to temperature sensors, to each of the fans to control their speeds. Each of the fans provides a fan fault signal and a fan not present signal to the fan control board. The temperature sensors are placed proximate the processors and I/O components to monitor the operating temperatures thereof, and communicate the respective temperatures back to the fan control board, via I.sup.2 C bus. An operating system is utilized to drive the fan controller but can be overridden by the fan controller during critical conditions. An air ramp is positioned between the processors to help direct the flow of air generated by the fans onto some of the processors. Additionally, each of the fans are configured with a quick installment device to facilitate single-hand insertion and removal of the fans from the computer system.
摘要翻译：高端服务器的冷却系统包括插入风扇控制板的四个热插拔风扇。球迷分为两组，每组有两个球迷，一组在后面。风扇组中的一个用于冷却处理器板，另一组用于冷却系统I / O板插槽。在正常运行状态下，每组只有一个风扇处于活动状态，而另一个风扇则自由运转，从而提供冗余。风扇控制板为每个风扇提供电力，并进一步向每个风扇提供响应于温度传感器的信号，以控制其速度。每个风扇都会向风扇控制板提供风扇故障信号和风扇不显示信号。温度传感器靠近处理器和I / O组件放置以监控其工作温度，并通过I2C总线将相应的温度传送回风扇控制板。使用操作系统来驱动风扇控制器，但在关键条件下可以被风扇控制器覆盖。处理器之间设置一个空气斜坡，以帮助将风扇产生的空气流引导到一些处理器上。此外，每个风扇都配置有快速安装装置，以便于从计算机系统单独插入和移除风扇。

摘要： A nonintrusive monitoring system is used to determine the onset and duration times of an electrical power outage-caused down condition of a computer without requiring a pre-power outage polling of a running component of the computer and thereby degrading computer system performance. In response to a supply power outage the monitoring system switches on a battery-powered counter device, representatively a digital counter or a real time clock, and then switches the counter device back off in response to resumption of power supply to the computer. A software portion of the monitoring system then detects the count value of the counter device, and utilizes the count value to compute the onset and duration times of the previous power outage. Using an alternative nonintrusive technique, the monitoring system permits the counter device to run during power supply to the computer, while using the computer system clock to generate periodic time stamps, and disables the counter device during computer supply power outages. Upon resumption of supply power to the computer, the monitoring system compares the time stamp information to the count value to determine the onset and duration times of the previous supply power outage.
