Abstract: A server device includes a chassis and at least one server assembly. The chassis has at least one accommodating space, at least one first surface, at least one second surface, at least one opening and at least one front side. The first surface and the second surface face each other, and respectively located at two opposite sides of the accommodating space. The opening is located at the front side and connected to the accommodating space. The server assembly is slidably disposed in the accommodating space from the opening. The server assembly includes a first server and a second server. The first server is closer to the first surface than the second server. The first surface and the front side are orthogonal to a reference plane. An orthogonal projection of the first server on the reference plane partially overlaps an orthogonal projection of the second server on the reference plane.

Abstract: In-system programming to switch memory access from one area to another in memory cards is disclosed. A command to access a first area of a memory card is received. Access is switched from the first area of the memory card to a second area of the memory card if specified data follows the received command allowing for the memory access switch.

Abstract: A procedure for reproducing a storage card includes providing a preliminary storage card, wherein the preliminarily storage card has been partitioned into at least a first partitioned region and a second partitioned region and content has been written into the first partitioned region; providing a master storage card without being partitioned; copying the preliminary storage card with at least the first partitioned region and the second partitioned region into the master storage card based on the logic block addressing (LBA) mode, wherein the preliminary storage card is still not partitioned yet; and writing a signature into a DOS file system area of the first partitioned region at a specific signature area, wherein the signature includes a signature ID and a partition information corresponding to at least the first partitioned region and the second partitioned region in the preliminary storage card.

Abstract: In-system programming to switch memory access from one area to another in memory cards is disclosed. A command to access a first area of a memory card is received. Access is switched from the first area of the memory card to a second area of the memory card if specified data follows the received command allowing for the memory access switch.

Abstract: A method of communicating with an embedded controller is disclosed. The method is adapted for an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface specification (ACPI). According to the method, a busy flag is set in the status register of the embedded controller. While the Operating System Power Management handler (OSPM) accesses the embedded controller, the busy flag is set with a busy state value. When the OSPM finishes accessing the embedded controller, the busy flag is set with a non-busy state value.
