Abstract: Systems and methods for depositing monetary funds into an account are described. A first request from a first individual to deposit monetary funds into an account associated with an entity may be received. The first individual is not an account owner of the account. Monetary funds from the first individual may be received for deposit in the account. The monetary funds may include cash, checks, credit card transfers, and/or debit card transfers. The receipt of the first request may be receipt of a paper ticket with an access code authorizing deposit of monetary funds into the account. One or more restrictions may be reviewed to authorize the deposit of monetary funds in the account.

Additional specific individuals with similar and/or different restrictions on the ability to deposit may be permitted to deposit monetary funds into the account.

Abstract: Systems and methods for permitting a credit card payment are described. An individual associated with a credit card account of an entity may be identified. A request to permit the individual associated with the credit card account of the entity to deposit a credit card payment in a self-service financial transaction device associated with the entity may be received. An identifier of the individual associated with the credit card account may be read. A request from the individual to deposit monetary funds as the credit card payment into the self-service financial transaction device may be received, and a determination may be made as to whether the individual is authorized to make the deposit. Monetary funds from the individual for deposit as the credit card payment may be received. One or more restrictions may be placed on the ability to deposit monetary funds as the credit card payment.

Abstract: Memory is logically partitioned into two regions. A first region may be a similar size relative to the second region or the first region may be a small subset of the memory. The first region of memory is initialized and an operating system utilizes the first region. A system handler simulates a physical hot add of the second region. After the simulated physical hot add, the operating system may utilize the second region as if it were newly added physical memory and/or may utilize both the first region and second region.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating an access code are described. A first request to generate an access code for permitting a first individual to deposit monetary funds into an account associated with an entity is received. The first individual is not an account owner of the account. The access code for permitting the first individual to deposit monetary funds into the account associated with the entity is generated. A second request to output the access code for permitting the first individual to deposit monetary funds into the account associated with the entity is received, and the access code for permitting the first individual to deposit monetary funds into the account associated with the entity is outputted. One or more restrictions may be placed on the ability to deposit monetary funds in the account.

Abstract: This invention generally provides a method for speeding up system boot time, by initializing a subset of memory during the system firmware test/initialization, and allowing the system to boot an operating system with this subset of installed memory. While the system is completing the operating system boot with the subset of installed memory, a remainder of the installed system memory is being initialized/tested. When the initialization the remainder of system memory is completed (and after the OS has booted), the SMI handler is invoked. The SMI handler then simulates a physical memory “Hot Add” event, and reports the event to the OS. This allows much of the memory initialization/test activity to occur in parallel with the firmware initialization/test and operating system startup processes.

Abstract: A method of managing resources in a data processing configuration includes allocating system resources to an application to ensure a specified level of performance for the application. A system parameter is then modified to conserve power consumption upon detecting a condition resulting in a reduction of available system power. The original system resource allocation is then modified to maintain the specified level of performance following the modification of the system parameter. The system resources may include system CPU cycles and allocating system resources may include allocating a specified percentage of the CPU cycles to a high priority application. The reduction of available system power may be caused by an excessive ambient temperature or the failure of a power supply. Modifying the system parameter to conserve power consumption includes throttling the CPU speed and then dynamically increasing the percentage of CPU cycles allocated to the high priority application.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for reporting and recovering from an internal processor error in a multiprocessor system supporting system management mode. In accordance with the method of the present invention one or more replacement agents are allocated such as during system startup within the multiprocessor system. Machine specific error-reporting registers are monitored for one or more active processor agents during system operation. In response to detecting a faulty agent via the monitoring, a system management interrupt (SMI) request is issued to one or both the faulty agent and a selected replacement agent. In response to receiving the SMI request, the operating state of the faulty agent is copied to the selected replacement agent in system management mode. Operating system processing is then resumed using the replacement agent.

A plurality of selectively-operable visual indicators are included, each associated with one of the connection ports. One of the service processors controls operation of the visual indicators according to a sequence of electronic connections to be made between the connection ports. Computer usable program code accessible by one of the service processors may be included for selectively operating visual indicators associated with the connection ports according to the sequence of connections to be made between the servers.

Abstract: A method and system for booting up multiple PCI peripheral devices, such that the number of bootable PCI peripheral devices is not limited by the amount of computer system memory that is dedicated to storing executable boot code for the peripheral devices. The executable boot code is stored on a Read Only Memory (ROM) on each peripheral device. When a new PCI peripheral device begins to boot up, a check for available memory space in a ROM scan memory address space is performed. If there is not enough available room in the ROM scan memory address space for the new device's executable boot code, then a ROM scan detection logic pages an image of another peripheral device's executable boot code out of the ROM scan memory address space before storing the new device's executable boot code into the ROM scan memory address space.
