Abstract: A rack used in a device for preparing or analyzing a sample is provided. The rack includes, but is not limited to, a base, a plurality of walls extending from the base, a plate extending between the plurality of walls opposite the base, and a wireless power conductor. The plate includes, but is not limited to, a plurality of cavities. Each cavity of the plurality of cavities is configured to hold a receptacle that is configured to hold a liquid for analysis of a sample or each cavity of the plurality of cavities is configured to hold the liquid for analysis of the sample. The wireless power conductor is mounted to the base and is configured to receive energy by electromagnetic induction from a second wireless power conductor.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention, a remote management device is integrated into a processing system, such as a filer or other storage server, and the remote management device and administrative data (such as console data) generated by the processing system are accessible even if the processing system becomes inoperable. The processing system includes a console port that outputs administrative data in the form of administrative data during system operation. The remote management device is accessible remotely, for example through a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet, or a combination of networks. The remote management device intercepts the administrative data output by the console port and stores the data into memory on the remote management device.
