  • Implementing sideband control structure for PCIE cable cards and IO expansion enclosures
    Patent number: 10417167
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing sideband control structure for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIE) add-in cards, or cable cards, that utilize cables to connect to input/output (IO) expansion enclosures in a computer system. System firmware uniquely identifies a cable card present in a PCIE slot in a system unit. Enclosure management functions utilize sideband control paths integrated within at least cable providing sideband control signaling, and providing PCIE signaling lanes between the cable card and the IO enclosure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 25, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 17, 2019
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Patrick A. Buckland, Jeffery D. Haumont, Gregory M. Nordstrom, William A. Thompson
