Abstract: A cradle for an information handling system includes a base and a stand. The stand extends perpendicular to the base. The stand includes a rotatable insert portion and a cover. The rotatable insert portion receives the information handling system. The cover snap fits over the information handling system when the information handling system is within the cradle, and when the cover rotates between an open position and a closed position.

Abstract: A method for partitioning magnetic area of non-volatile memory includes following steps. Original data stored in a storage space of a removable memory device is totally transferred to a backup space which is located in a place other than the removable memory device. The storage space of the removable memory device is partitioned. The original data stored in the backup space is totally transferred back to the storage space of the removable memory device after the storage space of the removable memory device being partitioned is finished.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for starting up the same, wherein the electronic device includes a firmware control unit, a power supply state storage unit, a basic input output unit, and an Ethernet interface coupled to power supply apparatus to a Power over Ethernet to receive a power supply via a network cable. The firmware control unit determines whether the power supply state of the power supply is in a first power mode, by checking a power supply state signal. When the power supply state is not in the first power mode, the basic input output unit executes a second power booting program. The firmware control unit communicates with the power supply apparatus via a network, increases the rated power of the power supply, sets the power supply state signal for controlling the power supply state to be in the first power mode, and restarts the electronic device.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a computer apparatus including a peripheral device, a hub unit and a control unit, and a wake-up method thereof. The peripheral device is configured to generate an input signal. The hub unit is coupled to the peripheral device.
