Abstract: A computer system displays and controls the hard disk condition. The computer system includes a host bus adapter which detects the status of the hard disk, and the status light gives light to display the hard disk status. The baseboard management controller and the host bus adapters are set on the motherboards, in which the baseboard management controller monitors and records the status of the hard disk. The microcontroller is set on the hard disk backplane for decoding the message from the host bus adapter in order to control the displaying of the status light.

Abstract: A modularized custom-developed software package producing method and system is proposed, which is capable of automatically producing a custom-developed software package based on customer-designated specifications; and which is characterized by the provision of all required functional and data objects as modularized objects, including a software core module object, a group of functional module objects, and a group of custom-made module objects, which can be selectively chosen to be gathered and combined into an integrated code package serving as the intended custom-developed software package. The proposed method and system allows the overall software development process to be less laborious and time-consuming and thus more efficient to implement, and can help prevent confidential business documents and data files that are embedded in the custom-developed software package from unauthorized access and tampering.

Abstract: A storage media controller driver auto installing method and system is proposed, which is designed for use with a computer platform, such as a network server, that is equipped with a storage media controller, such as an IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) or SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) compliant RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) controller, for the purpose of installing a software-based driver for the RAID controller in a fully-automatic manner during the installation of an operating system, such as UNIX or WINDOWS, onto the server. This feature allows the driver installation process to be fully automatically carried out by the operating system, without requiring the network system management personnel to manually swap disks and manually input required settings for the installation of the driver, so that the driver installation process can be made more efficiently, effortlessly, and reliably.
