Patent number: 10191520Abstract: An electronic apparatus having function of switching node modules includes at least two node modules, a shared I/O module having a first I/O interface connected with an external device, a second I/O interface electrically connected with the at least two node modules and a switching module connecting the at least two node modules. The shared I/O module is used to cause the shared I/O module to communicate with one node module in the at least two node modules through the second I/O interface according to a selection signal when receiving the selection signal. The shared I/O module integrates multiple communication ports and switches the node module communicating with the shared I/O module according to a selection signal, the shared I/O module also can be designed as a shared I/O module combined by multiple different ports in advance to perform corresponding replacement according to user needs.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2016Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: CELESTICA TECHNOLOGY CONSULTANCY (SHANGHAI) CO. LTDInventors: Hank Dao, Guangcheng Dai

Patent number: 9817450Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus, the back plate, the I/O module, the power supply, the node module and the like are reasonably and neatly laid out in the case, so that more modules can be laid out in a limited case space, thus having a high utilization rate and a low cost. Besides, the I/O module, the power supply module and the node module are separately designed, and the modules cooperate with each other; the modules are snap structures, and can be assembled and disassembled by hand, which increases operation and maintenance efficiency. Moreover, the completion of the signal transmission among different modules mainly depends on the golden finger or the high-speed back plate connector, thus the case is clean and neat inside.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2016Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: CELESTICA TECHNOLOGY CONSULTANCY (SHANGHAI) CO. LTDInventors: Mark Zani, Hank Dao, Shaosong Huang, Alonzo Ramirez, Guangcheng Dai, Wenjin Li

Publication number: 20170023988Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus, which lays out an I/O module and a power supply module in a case reasonably and neatly, and specifically causes the I/O module and the power supply module to be set in a first receiving space of the case with equal height and equal length, so that more modules can be laid out in a limited case space, thus having a high utilization rate and a low cost; moreover, the I/O module and the power supply module are separately designed, and the modules cooperate with each other; the modules are snap structures, and can be assembled and disassembled by hand, which increases operation and maintenance efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2016Publication date: January 26, 2017Applicant: Celestica Technology Consultancy (Shanghai) Co. Ltd.Inventors: Hank Dao, SHAOSONG HUANG, YU WANG

Patent number: 8427285Abstract: A server computer system includes a set of visual indicators for representing status of one or more data storage devices that are connected to one or more nodes of the server system. Control circuitry has at least first and second bus interfaces and is configured to set the state of the visual indicators responsive to signals received through the bus interfaces, and to operate in at least first and second configurable modes. In the first mode, both of the first and the second bus interfaces communicate with a single node. In the second mode, the first bus interface communicates with a first node and the second bus interface communicates with a second node.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2010Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Larry E Wilson, Masud M Reza, Hank Dao

Patent number: 8335879Abstract: A technique for differentiating nodes in a multi-node electronic system includes establishing an intended configuration for the system, the configuration including a number of nodes to be installed and a specification of intended node locations. A node ID for each of multiple nodes to be installed in the system is established, and the multiple nodes are installed. Using the node ID established for each of the multiple nodes, a determination is made whether the multiple nodes as installed comply with the intended configuration.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2010Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Larry E Wilson, Hank Dao, Vi T Lu, Adnan T Gunduz, John D Nguyen
