The method discloses validating a smartcard to yield a validation and establishing, based on the validation, a wireless connection with a remote device. The method can further include receiving a smartcard passcode verifying the smartcard passcode to yield a verification, and authorizing, based on the verification and at the server, the remote device access to a baseboard management controller of the server.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for updating expansion read-only memory (ROM) code to execute for device-specific initialization. An exemplary method comprises first accessing one or more copies of a ROM code in at least one of a plurality of repositories. The ROM code can be configured to execute an initialization process for a specific device in the computer system. The method can then select one of the one or more copies of the ROM code based on a selection criterion to yield a selected ROM code. The method can then copy the selected ROM code to a system memory of the computer system. The method can then execute the selected ROM code in the system memory to initialize the specific device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for reducing the amount of management ports (and associated cabling) for a top-of-rack server environment. Whereas other server management configurations have cabling connecting each node in multiple multi-node chassis in a server rack to a top-of-rack, systems configured as described herein designate a single node as a point of communication for the multi-node chassis. The designated node forwards communications for all nodes in the chassis to a chassis management controller, which acts as a distribution point for all communications within the multi-node chassis, with the benefit of only a single connection being required between the multi-node chassis and the top of rack switch.

Abstract: A portable electronic device is provided. The portable electronic device includes a display unit, an input unit and a hinge member. The hinge member is detachably connected to the display unit and pivotally connected to the input unit, and the hinge member and the display unit are rotatable relative to the input unit around a rotary axis. The display unit has at least a slot and the hinge member has at least a guide pin corresponding to the slot. The guide pin has a first slope structure and a vertical surface structure. The first slope structure and the vertical surface structure are arranged in a direction parallel to the rotary axis.

Abstract: A computing device is provided with a slot that includes a first locking element and a second locking element configured to receive a removable computing device carrier. The computing device carrier includes a bracket for securing a first computing device in a first receiving space, and second computing device in a second receiving space. The bracket also includes a first latching mechanism configured to secure the first locking element of the slot, and a second latching mechanism configured to secure the second locking element of the slot. The computing device carrier also includes a frame secured to the bracket. The frame includes a first end with a first guide slot, and a second end with a second guide slot. The first and second guide slots are configured to enable the computing device carrier to adjust from a first position to a second position while secured within the slot.

Abstract: A chassis is provided to improve the airflow over a plurality of disk drives. The chassis includes a housing with a front portion and a rear portion connected by a base portion. The base portion includes a plurality of hard drive slots oriented in a plurality of rows along a leading edge of the base portion. The chassis also includes a fan module configured to pass air from the front position of the housing to the rear position of the house. The plurality of hard drive slots is oriented such that a first portion of the hard drive slots is inclined relative to the leading edge of the base portion.

Abstract: A communications device includes a ground plane, a signal source, a filling material and an antenna. The signal source is electrically connected to the ground plane. The antenna has a predetermined metal pattern and is coupled to the signal source. The filling material is a non-conductive material and the filling material and the predetermined metal pattern are bonded heterogeneously via a surface-mount technology.

Abstract: A system and method to ensure the proper operation of a power supply unit in an electronic device. The electronic device has a chassis with a length and a width that includes one area having electronic components. A system fan is located in the chassis relative to the electronic components to generate air flow in the direction of the length of the chassis through the electronic components. A power supply unit is located in parallel to the system fan relative to the width of the chassis. The power supply unit includes an AC input, a DC output and an internal fan. A controller is operable to control the system fan to reduce the air flow when the power supply unit turns on AC power to the AC input, or wakes up from a cold redundant state and outputs DC power from the DC output.
