  • Publication number: 20050077921
    Abstract: A computer data bus interface control selectively connects a computer data bus to functional components of a circuit board or isolates the bus from the functional components. The bus interface control also selectively provides pull-up voltage to the bus, as needed. The connection selection and the pull-up voltage selection can be made, for example, based on whether the board is installed in a system slot or a peripheral slot of the bus.

  • Publication number: 20050021260
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for performing frequency margin testing of a computer system, such as a server. A system of the invention can include a controller, e.g., a BMC, internal to the computer system and a digital frequency synthesizer that can communicate with the controller and can apply clock frequency to marginable components of the computer system. In response to commands from the controller, the synthesizer generates one or more test frequencies that are applied to one or more of the marginable components. The response of the system to each of the test frequencies is then monitored.
