  • Publication number: 20240146501
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a clock signal of a server is provided. The server includes a phase-locked loop (PLL), a baseboard management controller (BMC), and a light emitting unit. The method includes steps of: A) the server executing a time synchronization service to obtain a synchronization mode that the PLL is operating in, where the synchronization mode is one of a free-run mode, a locked mode, and a holdover mode; B) the server updating the synchronization mode to the BMC when executing the time synchronization service; and C) the BMC storing the synchronization mode and controlling the light emitting unit to display in one of a plurality of displaying manners that corresponds to the synchronization mode.

  • Publication number: 20130099087
    Abstract: A securing device for a tablet device has a main seat, two positioning rods, two first resilient elements, two driving sliders, two sets of holding legs and a lock. The holding legs hold the tablet device. When the lock is locked, the lock is unable to detach from the main seat, and the positioning rods, the driving sliders and the holding legs are unable to move. Consequently, the securing device is unable to detach from the tablet device. Thus, as a cable of the lock is looped around a post, the tablet device is secured at a specific position and is not stolen easily.
