  • Patent number: 11010173
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage medium, for receiving a request to switch a mode of an information handling system (IHS) from a multi-socket mode to a multi-single socket mode; in response to receiving the request, placing each socket of the IHS in an auxiliary power state independent of each other; after placing each socket of the IHS in the auxiliary power state, altering parameters of the sockets of the IHS, including: altering CPU straps, power sequencing, reset sequencing, and bus re-direction associated with one or more of the sockets of the IHS; and in response to altering the parameters of the sockets of the IHS, switching the mode of the IHS from the multi-socket mode to the multi-single socket mode such that a processor for each socket is a bootstrap processor.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9870334
    Abstract: An information handling system (IHS) server volume includes at least two pairs of flexible peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) media for connecting data signals and power supply signals via riser cards mounted against respective PCIe devices in large adjacent physical slot locations. A first PCIe device corresponding to a first riser card and a second PCIe device corresponding to a second riser card are relatively positioned to enable the second riser card to be fitted within a specified space between the first PCIe device and the first riser card while a footprint of a first PCIe connector corresponding to the first PCIe device overlaps a footprint of a second PCIe connector corresponding to the second PCIe device. First and second PCIe cards provided by the first and second PCIe devices respectively are inserted into respective PCIe connectors via the first pair of riser cards having a dense nested arrangement.
