  • Publication number: 20170181311
    Abstract: Microserver system includes blade servers, a middle-plane board, a network-management board, and a main control module. Each of the blade servers includes a CPU board electrically connected to the middle-plane board. The network management board is electrically connected to the CPU boards through the middle-plane board, and the CPU boards can communicate with each others through the network management board. The main control module electrically connected to the middle-plane board includes a power-supply module and a system-management module. The power-supply module is electrically connected to the CPU boards and the network-management board through the middle-plane board.

  • Patent number: 9588929
    Abstract: A peripheral component interface-express (PCI-E) standard selection setting system and microserver are disclosed, in which a selection controller selects an arrangement setting in storage elements to arrange the PCI-E control chip, whereby each of the second PCI-E standard ports is or is not arranged as an upstream PCI-E standard port, so that a single PCI-E standard control chip may arrange one of the multitude of PCI-E standard ports as an upstream PCI-E standard port, so that the upstream PCI-E standard port may have a data transmission with one of the multitude of system on chips (SOCs) connected with the PCI-E standard control chip.

  • Patent number: 9442545
    Abstract: A server system and controlling method for an operation timing after being powered up are disclosed. The sever system controls a reset signal to have a voltage lower than a first voltage value by introducing a voltage monitoring module when a work power lower than a voltage threshold. On the other hand, when the work power voltage increases to higher than the voltage threshold of the voltage monitoring module, the voltage monitoring module controls the reset signal voltage to be higher than a second voltage value, whereby achieving in a technical efficacy of stable initialization and reset of the server.

  • Publication number: 20150334051
    Abstract: A server includes at least one computing board and a baseboard. The computing board includes a plurality of system on chips and a plurality of network interface controllers. The system on chips are used for transceiving at least one differential signal. Each of the network interface controllers is used for performing conversion between the differential signal and a signal between network media access control layer and physical layer. The baseboard includes at least one switch module for switching and transceiving a signal, at least one first physical layer transceiver for performing the conversion between the signal between network media access control layer and physical layer and a first network connector signal and at least one first network connector.

  • Patent number: 8819400
    Abstract: A computer apparatus is disclosed. The computer apparatus mentioned above includes a main board and an external sub-board. The main board includes a connector, a management chip, a first basic input output system and a selector. The external sub-board includes an external input output system. The management chip detects a coupling state of the main board and the external sub-board, and generates a detecting signal. The selector enables one of the first basic input output system and the external input output system and disables the other one.
