  • Publication number: 20190339988
    Abstract: A boot option system includes a pre-boot execution environment system coupled to a server device through a network. The server device creates a device placeholder boot option including a device path terminating at a storage controller in the server device. During a first boot and based on first boot instructions received from the pre-boot execution environment system, the server device moves the device placeholder boot option to a desired location within a boot sequence for the server device. During a second boot and based on second boot instructions received from the pre-boot execution environment system, the server device provides an operating system on the server device. The server device then replaces, at the desired location within the boot sequence, the device placeholder boot option with an operating system boot option that was provided on the server device in response to the provisioning of the operating system on the server device.

  • Patent number: RE47206
    Abstract: A monitor control system capable of reprogramming the function of a LCD monitor. The monitor control system utilizes VGA signal lines for video signal transmission during normal mode of operation and the same VGA signal lines for transmitting erase/record commands and data when the erasable programmable ROM inside the monitor demands reprogramming. Using an isolator circuit in the monitor control system for isolating an erase/record pathway of an erasable programmable ROM from a normal video pathway, data within the erasable programmable ROM can be modified without opening up the monitor casing. Hence, the modification of monitor function is much more convenient.
