  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AN INTERPOSER BOARD
    Publication number: 20140351470
    Abstract: In accordance with at least some embodiments, a system includes an aggregator backplane coupled to a plurality of fans and power supplies and configured to consolidate control and monitoring for the plurality of fans and power supplies. The system also includes a plurality of compute nodes coupled to the aggregator backplane, wherein each compute node selectively communicates with the aggregator backplane via a corresponding interposer board. Each interposer board is configured to translate information passed between its corresponding compute node and the aggregator backplane.
    Type: Application

  • Methods and systems for an interposer board
    Patent number: 8832348
    Abstract: In accordance with at least some embodiments, a system (100) includes an aggregator backplane (124) coupled to a plurality of fans (120A-120N) and power supplies (122A-122N) and configured to consolidate control and monitoring for the plurality of fans (120A-120N) and power supplies (122A-122N). The system (100) also includes a plurality of compute nodes (102A-102N) coupled to the aggregator backplane (124), wherein each compute node (102A-102N) selectively communicates with the aggregator backplane (124) via a corresponding interposer board (130A-130N). Each interposer board (130A-130N) is configured to translate information passed between its corresponding compute node (102A-102N) and the aggregator backplane (124).

  • Configurable control of data storage device visual indicators in a server computer system
    Patent number: 8427285
    Abstract: 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.
