Abstract: A system is configured to portray information about at least one electronic module in an enclosure, including at least the positions of components in the electronic module. A projection device has a projection element, a first networking circuit configured to communicate with a server, and a first processor circuit that identifies an electronic module, requests information from a server about at least physical locations of some components in the module, renders an image based on the received information, and scales the image for display on the electronic module. The projection element is configured to display the scaled image on the electronic module after the module is withdrawn from the enclosure.

Abstract: An information technology system includes a micro projector display for displaying status, operating, troubleshooting, and location information. An image output from the micro projector display is viewable from outside the enclosure, for example on a cabinet door, an optional retractable projection screen included with the enclosure, or a floor, wall, or ceiling of a room, or other external surface. In some embodiments of the invention, a micro display projector is adapted for removable electrical and mechanical connection to one or more docking ports on the information technology system. In some embodiments of the invention, a projection direction for the micro projector display is selectable.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided and includes a label layer, disposed in a user visible interface of a front bezel, in which an icon is etched, a multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB), abutting a rear surface of the label layer and being configured to form a light source housing that positionally corresponds to that of the icon, a light source assembly, including a substrate, which is fixedly recessed in a rear portion of the light source housing, and a light emitting portion, supported by the substrate, from which light is emitted toward at least the icon, and solder plating to reflect light emitted by the light source away from the preselected icon toward the preselected icon.

Abstract: By use of a GUI (Graphical User Interface) or CLI (Command Line Interface) a user can issue a command to configure an external SAS Port as table routing mode or subtractive mode. The SAS switch receives and decodes the command. Subsequently, the SM asserts the appropriate indicator behavior for the port being addressed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a slot availability indication system including a RAID, at least one disk tray defining a first slot, second slot, and third slot, the first, second, and third slots being configured to contain a drive and being associated with the RAID, a RAID light indicator, a first, second, and third disk activity light indicator, and a first, second, and third disk availability light indicator disposed on the trays, the RAID being configured to flash the RAID light indicator and the first, second, and third activity light indicators when at least one of the first, second, and third slots in at least one of the trays is empty, the RAID being associated with and configured to flash the first availability light when the first slot is empty, the second availability light when the second slot is empty, and the third availability light when the third slot is empty.

Abstract: Disclosed is cable restraint including a flexible and resilient cable retainer including a cable retaining body and a plurality of cable grips, the body and grips defining a cable cavity that is contoured to partially house a cable, a tie down portion extending from a tie down end of the cable retainer, the tie down portion being configured to allow association of the tie down portion with an electronic enclosure, a portability handle extending from the tie down portion, a plug enclosure including a first enclosure portion and a second enclosure portion that is hinged to the first portion, and the second portion being rotatable into enclosing association with the first portion to form and define a plug cavity for disposal of a plug and a plug opening that allows the plug to associate with the electronic enclosure, and a pull handle extending from the first end portion.

Abstract: Systems, methods and a computer program product are provided to permit the identification of all of the devices of a specified domain in a multi-domain environment. All communication among the domain devices is in-band having the advantage that no additional cabling is required. A control center between host devices and the domains receives an in-band command from an initiating device in a specified domain, the command being transmitted in response to the activation of a triggering device on the initiating device. Upon receipt of the command, the control center broadcasts an in-band command to each of the other devices in the domain directing the other devices to activate an indicator on each of the other devices. With the indicators on the devices in the specified domain activated, an administrator is able to identify those devices and thus focus his search for the faulty device only on those devices within the domain.
