  • System and method for sending data across a bus cable having in-band and side-band signal conductors
    Patent number: 7506085
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for sending data. One exemplary embodiment may be a method comprising sending a data rate synchronization pulse from drive controller in a computer system to a storage device controller, calculating a bit transfer period by the storage device controller based on the time duration of the data rate synchronization pulse, serially driving a plurality of bits from the drive controller at a rate based on the bit transfer period, and sampling at the rate based on the bit transfer period to receive the plurality of bits by the storage device controller.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 2006
    Date of Patent: March 17, 2009
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: Michael S. Bunker, Michael L. Sabotta, Michael D. White, Sajid A. Momin

  • Communicating information in a computer system
    Publication number: 20040193770
    Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments are disclosed for communicating information in a computer system. In at least some embodiments, a computer system may include: a storage controller, a storage device coupled via a primary bus to the storage controller, a backplane controller coupled via a secondary bus to the storage controller, a status indicator responsive to information received from the backplane controller to indicate the status of the storage device, where the received information indicates the status of the storage device, and where the information conveyed to the status indicator is conveyed via the secondary bus.
