  • Patent number: 9125050
    Abstract: Secure NFC interactions with a server information handling system management controller, such as a baseboard management controller, are supported with an NFC application running on a mobile information handling system. A private key is applied by the mobile application to create an application hash that a baseboard management controller verifies to authorize access by the NFC application. The private key encrypts a user name and password so that the baseboard management controller decrypts the user credentials to look up access privileges in a security database. If user privileges include access to components, the baseboard management controller automatically actuates locks to provide access.

  • Patent number: 9082439
    Abstract: A method implemented in a storage system that has moveable storage devices includes a motion controller receiving movement related data of a storage device from at least one sensor associated with the storage device. The method further includes determining if the received movement related data indicates presence of at least one pre-identified movement related condition that can result in damage to the storage device. In response to the received movement related data indicating at least one pre-identified condition, a park command is issued that triggers the reading head of the storage device to enter a parked state in which the storage device is protected from damage that can occur due to motion of the reading head while the pre-identified condition exists.

  • Publication number: 20150192629
    Abstract: Memory short detection systems and methods include a power supply system with first power rail. A memory system includes a memory device connector that is configured to couple to a memory device and includes a first pin that is coupled to the first power rail and a second pin located adjacent the first pin. A short detection circuit is coupled to the first pin. The short detection circuit is configured to provide a first voltage from the first power rail, compare the first voltage to a first short detection voltage, and determine whether a short exists across the first pin and the second pin based on the comparing of the first voltage to the first short detection voltage. If a short is determined to exist across the first pin and the second pin, power is prevented from being provided to the memory device connector.

  • Publication number: 20150154038
    Abstract: In a data storage system, a hierarchical data structure, such as a file system or a database, is utilized to organize a hierarchical arrangement of device containers corresponding to various device identifiers of the plurality of hardware components in the target hardware system, scripts corresponding to various packet types of communication packets in the target hardware system, and responses corresponding to various packet data in the communication packets in the target hardware system. In response to receipt by a hierarchical emulation engine of a communication packet during emulation of the target hardware system, the communication packet including a device identifier, packet type and packet data, a response to the communication packet is determined by traversing the hierarchical arrangement based on the device identifier, packet type and packet data of the communication packet. The determined response is then provided.

  • Publication number: 20150043115
    Abstract: An electrical circuit for protection of a solid-state relay includes a switch element connected between an input signal source and an input terminal of the solid-state relay. The solid-state relay includes an output terminal for connection to a load. A sensing element is associated with the solid-state relay to sense an operating parameter associated with the solid-state relay. A feedback element controls the switch element to switch an operating state in response to the operating parameter exceeding a reference parameter. The solid-state relay changes state in response to the switch element to control an output current of the solid-state relay between an energized or de-energized state.
