  • Publication number: 20110087826
    Abstract: A flash memory accessing apparatus is disclosed. The flash memory accessing apparatus includes a memory controller, a first open NAND flash interface (ONFI) and an expanding flash memory module. The first ONFI is used for connecting a main flash memory module. The memory controller obtains a detecting result by, detecting whether the main flash memory module and the expanding flash memory module are single side or double side. The memory controller further configures an accessing method of the main flash memory module and the expanding flash memory module according to the detecting result.

  • Patent number: 7849234
    Abstract: A system for detecting a peripheral device is used to detect whether the peripheral device is completely inserted into a peripheral interface slot of a mother board before booting. When the peripheral device is inserted into the peripheral interface slot, the system judges whether the peripheral device is completely inserted into the peripheral interface slot according to a potential of fins of the peripheral interface slot. If the system detects that the peripheral device has not been completely inserted into the peripheral interface slot before booting, a booting procedure of the mother board is interrupted and an alarm signal is output.

  • Publication number: 20100250822
    Abstract: A motherboard includes a first chipset, a second chipset, a central processing unit (CPU), a low-speed bus, a first switch circuit and a second switch circuit. In a normal setup, the first switch circuit is coupled to the first chipset and the CPU, and the second switch circuit is coupled to the first chipset and the low-speed bus. In a backup setup, the first switch circuit is coupled to the second chipset and the CPU, and the second switch circuit is coupled to the second chipset and the low-speed bus. The motherboard of the present invention further comprises a switch-circuit control unit or a driver configured for switching the first and second switch circuits to be in the backup setup when the first chipset is damaged in the normal setup.

  • Publication number: 20100232289
    Abstract: An automatic network connection device includes a first connection port, a second connection port, a first network connection unit, a second network connection unit, a control unit, and a switching unit. When the first network connection unit operates normally, the switching unit electrically connects the first network connection unit to the first connection port, such that the first network connection unit transmits and receives a network signal. When the first network connection unit fails, the switching unit switches the first connection port to be electrically connected to the second network connection unit, such that the second network connection unit transmits and receives the network signal.

  • Publication number: 20090172427
    Abstract: A method for power management of a motherboard is provided to manage a power supply on the motherboard and specially to manage an output power of a power management module on the mother board. The motherboard at least comprises a microprocessor, and the power management module provides a power with a number of output phases to the microprocessor. First, a first load of the microprocessor is detected in a first time. Then a second load of the microprocessor in a second time is detected. When the second load is less than the first load and is lower than a first predetermined value, the number of output phases of the power outputted from the power management module is reduced.
