  • Voltage margin testing of bladed servers
    Patent number: 7047471
    Abstract: A voltage margin testing blade is adapted for use in a bladed server having at least one internal adjustable power supply. The testing blade is further adapted to provide a control signal to the power supply indicative of any desire to modify the output voltage of the power supply. The testing blade senses the output voltage of the power supply and compares it to a desired power supply voltage. The control signal is generated in response to this comparison in order to control the actual power supply voltage at or about the desired power supply voltage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2003
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2006
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: Akbar Monfared, Steve Mastoris, Michelle Cavanna
  • Frequency margin testing of bladed servers
    Patent number: 6856926
    Abstract: A frequency margin testing blade is adapted for use in a bladed server. The testing blade is further adapted to provide one or more output clock signals for use as clock inputs to one or more server blades internal to the bladed server in which the testing blade is installed and/or one or more server blades external to the bladed server in which the testing blade is installed.
