  • Patent number: 8838286
    Abstract: A modular rack-level server and storage framework is disclosed. The modular rack system includes a plurality of chassis placed in one or more racks and a plurality of sleds placed in each chassis. Each sled includes an information handling system, a shared fan module, a shared power module, and a shared management module. The shared fan module cools the plurality of sleds in each chassis and the shared power module supplies power to one or more sleds in one or more chassis. The shared management module manages the operation of the plurality of chassis.

  • Patent number: 6321287
    Abstract: A system for enabling remote console redirection on a computer system having a remote monitor connector circuit located on a different computer bus than a local monitor connector circuit. In one example, a remote monitor connector circuit located on a PCI computer bus generates system management interrupts (SMIs) via an interrupt controller to a system processor of a computer system such as a server. In response to a SMI, the system processor invokes an interrupt handler to determine the source of the interrupt. In response to determining that the SMI was generated by the remote monitor connector circuit, the system processor places the video data being provided to a local monitor connector circuit (such as a graphics accelerator conforming to the Accelerated Graphics Port interface standard) into a shared memory location accessible by both the system processor and the remote monitor connector circuit. The remote monitor connector circuit provides the video data to a remote monitor via e.g.
