Abstract: A multi-functional vehicle door system includes a common lower door adapted to selectively cooperate with one of a door cassette and a side curtain assembly. The common lower door defines a cavity which opens adjacent an upper surface of the common lower door. The door cassette includes a frame defining a window opening and a lower portion adapted to be substantially inserted into the cavity of the common lower door. The side curtain assembly includes a frame and a flexible window. The frame includes a plurality of downwardly extending locating pins. One of the locating pins is adapted to engage an aperture provided in the upper surface of the common lower door. The other locating pins are adapted to engage apertures provided in a trim plug removably insertable into the opening of the common lower door.

Abstract: A bridge in a file server provides a direct link to data storage devices in satisfaction of data requests. The file server has one or more function-specific processors, including network processors (NPs) and file storage processors (FSPs), all operating in parallel and communicating over an interconnect bus. Each FSP is also connected to one or more disk controllers which in turn manage one or more data storage devices. To minimize local bus contention between data storage devices and network communications, separate internal buses are provided in the FSP, one internal bus connected to the interconnect bus for network communications and one internal bus connected to disk controllers for performing I/O operations on data storage devices.
