Abstract: A storage method, a storage system, and a controller are disclosed. The method is applicable to a system that includes at least one controller, at least two Peripheral Component Interconnection Express (PCIE) Input/Output (IO) modules, and at least two storage devices. The at least two storage devices are connected through a PCIE switch chip of the at least one controller, and the at least two PCIE IO modules are connected through a PCIE switch chip of the at least one controller. The method includes: receiving a request message from a server through the at least two PCIE IO modules; and accessing the at least two storage devices according to the request message. The at least two PCIE IO modules are shared between controllers, thereby saving resources; and the storage devices access the controllers without the need of a hard disk controller or a hard disk extension chip, thereby saving costs.

Abstract: A storage method and system, a terminal service board, a control board, and a storage channel board are provided. The system includes a terminal service board, a control board, and a storage channel board, where the terminal service board is configured to be connected with a terminal and the control board, process a request from the terminal, and send a processing result to the control board; the control board is configured to encapsulate data required to be stored onto a storage apparatus into a command according to the processing result, and submit the command to the storage channel board; the storage channel board is configured to be connected with the storage apparatus and the control board, and according to the command, store onto the storage apparatus the data required to be stored onto the storage apparatus. The control board becomes more focused on the storage processing, so that the efficiency of use for the control board is improved.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a hot pluggable fan system and connection apparatus. The system includes at least one fan assembly, and a hot pluggable fan connection apparatus. The hot pluggable fan connection apparatus includes a bottom plate; a crossbar existed on the bottom plate, for dividing the bottom plate into a forepart and a rear part; two side panels located on both sides of the bottom plate and vertical to the crossbar; a beam connected to the two side panels and above the crossbar; and one or more fan baffles combined with the side panels for forming at least one slot for accommodating the fan assembly, the baffles located at the forepart of the bottom plate and parallel to the side panels.
