摘要： An indicator light, such as an LED, for a computer disk drive module is controlled via an external controller. The disk drive module monitors a disk drive and determines a desired state of the LED, such as on, off or flashing, to indicate a status of the disk drive. The disk drive module provides a modulated signal carrying data that identifies the desired state on a path coupled to the indicator light and a terminal that is accessed by the external controller. The controller implements an algorithm for driving the indicator light, where the algorithm receives, as a first input, the desired state determined from the demodulated signal and, as a second input, information obtained from monitoring the disk drive module. The controller itself may obtain this information or receive it from a higher-level system controller.

摘要： A firmware update system includes a high-level management device implementing high-level management software application that selects a redundant embedded processor as a master sub-system. Firmware update images are transmitted to the master sub-system over a primary communication path. The master sub-system re-distributes the firmware update images to other associated redundant embedded processors over secondary communication paths. This reduces communication-bandwidth utilization over direct communication paths between the high-level management system and the other associated redundant embedded processors.

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： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for automatically and transparently managing addresses in an arbitrated loop network. An arbitrated loop network switch is programmed with an address map and configured with the necessary modules to monitor an address assignment process and associate soft assigned addresses claimed during the address arbitration process with physical slot addresses. In one embodiment, the address fields of packets addressing a specific physical slot are changed (in route) to the soft address assigned during the address arbitration process. The entire process may be transparent to the rest of the network and to users. The present invention facilitates maintaining a physically ordered addressing scheme despite any soft addressing that occurs during loop initialization.
