  • Orthogonal cross-connecting of printed circuit boards without a midplane board
    Patent number: 11038313
    Abstract: A line card of a set of line cards is configured to be coupled to a set of switch-fabric cards to collectively define at least a portion of an orthogonal cross fabric without a midplane board. The line card has an edge portion, a first side and a second side, opposite the first side. The line card includes a set of first set of connectors and a second set of connectors. The first set of connectors is disposed along the edge portion on the first side of the line card and the second set of connectors is disposed along the edge portion on the second side of the line card.

  • Methods and apparatus for providing redundant power supply protection with power zones for electronic devices
    Patent number: 10498165
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a set of power supply units where each power supply unit from the set of power supply units is associated with a power zone from a set of power zones. The apparatus can also include a redundant power supply unit and a set of electronic devices where each electronic device from the set of electronic devices is associated with a power zone from the set of power zones. Additionally, each electronic device from the set of electronic devices is operatively coupled to a power supply unit from the set of power supply units for that power zone and is also operatively coupled to the redundant power supply unit.

  • METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF NETWORK EQUIPMENT
    Publication number: 20170023999
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an equipment unit has a set of visual indicators, a power switch, and a set of compute components. The power switch receives a signal representing a status such that when the status is in a first mode, the power switch provides power to the set of visual indicators and when the status is in a second mode the power switch does not provide power to the set of visual indicators. The compute components are configured to receive power when the power switch does not provide power to the set of visual indicators.
