摘要： A method is disclosed to set the signaling rate of a switch domain disposed in an information storage and retrieval system. The method establishes a switch domain target operating speed, and determines if that switch domain target operating speed comprises a first signaling rate. If the switch domain target operating speed comprises a first signaling rate, then the method asserts first Device Control Code bits to each of the plurality of data storage devices, and each of the plurality of data storage devices communicates with the switch using that first signaling rate. If the switch domain target operating speed does not comprise the first signaling rate, then the method asserts second Device Control Code bits to each of the plurality of data storage devices, and each of the plurality of data storage devices communicates with the switch using a second signaling rate.

摘要： A method is disclosed to set the speed of a network. The method supplies a network interconnected with a system controller and a plurality of switch domains, where each of those plurality of switch domains comprises one or more information storage devices and a switch domain controller, and sets by each of the plurality of switch domains a signaling rate for that switch domain. The method queries in-band by the system controller each of the plurality of switch domains for that switch domain's signaling rate, and provides in-band by each of the plurality of switch domains the signaling rate for that switch domain. The method provides in-band by the system controller to each of the plurality of switch domains a first speed selection command specifying a first network speed, and resets by each of the plurality of switch domains the signaling rate for that switch domain to the first network speed.

摘要： A method to provide an operation to an information storage device is disclosed. The method supplies an information storage device and a protocol conversion device capable of receiving an operation in a first communication protocol comprising a variable attribute, and providing that operation to the information storage device in a second communication protocol, where that second communication protocol does not support the variable attribute. The method provides an operation to the protocol conversion device using said first communication protocol, and determines if the variable attribute is configured in that operation. If the method determines that the variable attribute is not configured in the operation, then the method provides the operation to the information storage device using the second communication protocol. If the method determines that the variable attribute is configured in the operation, then the method implements that variable attribute when providing the operation to the information storage device using the second communication protocol.

摘要： A method is disclosed to preserve data integrity during loss of power to an information storage and retrieval system. Applicants' method converts a plurality of sectors having a first sector format to a plurality of sectors having a second sector format. If a power failure warning is received during the sector format conversion process, the method prefetches the next second sector, overlays the next first sector onto part of all of that prefetched second sector, and saves the newly-written second sector before loss of utility power. After restoration of utility power to the information storage and retrieval system, Applicants' method writes that newly-written second sector to an information storage medium.

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。
