摘要: A method and apparatus reduce power consumption and mitigate declining battery life. In some embodiments, an initial full charge capacity, C(O), of a rechargeable battery is determined. A full charge capacity, C(t), of the rechargeable battery is determined at time t. An average power consumption profile is determined. A reduced power consumption is implemented based on the average power consumption profile and a factor C(t)/C(O). In other embodiments, functions that are not used in an average power consumption profile are deactivated. Other functions that occur in certain use cases of the average power consumption profile are activated and deactivated as needed.

摘要: A reduced-depth rack server for a reduced depth rack includes a data storage device rotated a quarter turn within a carrier. An interposer cable connects at one end to a laterally presented electrical connector of the data storage device and presents another connector to an end that is inserted inwardly into a rack server chassis to electrically connect with a backplane of the reduced-depth rack server. In one embodiment, a data storage assembly of the data storage device, carrier and interposer cable is inserted from a front end of the chassis. In one embodiment, the data storage assembly is inserted from a top of the chassis to facilitate airflow.

摘要: A rack-based information handling system (IHS) includes a rack containing at least one chassis having a plurality of bays open to laterally receive sleds that contain a plurality of information technology (IT) components that, when operational, enable the rack to function as an IHS. A storage sled including a stationary tray received in the chassis and a moveable trace received in the stationary tray. One or more hot swap bays that are horizontally arrayed in the storage sled in less than one (1) Server System Infrastructure (SSI) rack unit of height, wherein the moveable tray is extendable from the rack to a service position to expose all of its hot swap bays. Storage devices are insertable into a respective one of the hot swap bays of the storage sled. Each storage device may include a latching handle to lift and downward position the storage device in the corresponding hot swap bay.

摘要: A power supply unit (PSU) performs a PSU fault diagnosis using a PSU fault detection module. The PSU fault detection module detects a diagnostic trigger event and initiates a series of checks of selected sub-systems. The PSU fault detection module determines whether the trigger event occurred while the PSU was connected within an information handling system (IHS) or physically removed from the IHS. If the trigger event occurred while the PSU was connected within an information handling system (IHS), the PSU fault detection module electrically isolates the PSU from the IHS using an ORing device, which blocks current flowing into the PSU. The PSU fault detection module determines whether a short circuit exists within the electrically isolated PSU. If a short circuit is identified, the PSU fault detection module determines that the PSU is not functioning properly and provides a notification of a malfunction of the PSU.

摘要: A technique for dynamically controlling access to client input/output devices includes generating, by a client, a connection request to a central repository. In response to receiving, by the client, a grant to the connection request, an input/output device policy is downloaded from the central repository. The input/output device policy specifies one or more attributes for one or more input/output devices of the client. A user agent, executing on the client, extracts the attributes for the one or more input/output devices from the input/output device policy. The agent then applies the extracted attributes to the client to dynamically control access to the one or more input/output devices based on whether the client is inside or outside an organizational network.

摘要: A method, communication device, and computer program product mitigates Specific Absorption Rating (SAR) exposure to a user who is proximate to a communication device. The method includes an on-device measurement receiver of the communication device detecting a first signal corresponding to transmit signals that are reflected by a first antenna. The method includes a controller determining, based on the first signal a first set of values for a power efficiency parameter. The method includes the controller determining whether both the first value and the second value differ from respective baseline values by respective Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) threshold amounts. In response to the controller determining that both the first and second values differ by the respective SAR threshold amounts, the controller adjusts the power delivered to the first antenna.

摘要: A method, system, and computer program product for instruction fetching within a processor instruction unit, utilizing a loop buffer, one or more virtual loop buffers, and/or an instruction buffer. During instruction fetch, modified instruction buffers coupled to an instruction cache (I-cache) temporarily store instructions from a single branch, backwards short loop. The modified instruction buffers may be a loop buffer, one or more virtual loop buffers, and/or an instruction buffer. The instruction fetch within the instruction unit of a processor retrieves the instructions for the short loop from the modified buffers during the loop cycles of the single branch, backwards short loop, rather than from the instruction cache.

摘要: A haptics rendering system comprises: a display device having a display screen and one or more haptic feedback mechanisms associated with at least one tactile output peripheral; and a graphics processing unit (GPU) communicatively coupled to the display device. The GPU: receives one or more portions of display image software code for a three dimensional display image; generates a three dimensional (3D) visual output of the display image for display on the display device; and concurrently generates one or more specific friction maps to provide haptic feedback of depth and/or texture associated with specific portions of the display image that comprise at least one portion having at least one of a different depth and a different texture than other portions of the display image. The GPU renders the display image and the friction map from a same set of 3D commands within the display image software code.

摘要: An information handling system (IHS) prevents execution of corrupted bootup instructions in flash memory. A memory component contains basic input/output system (BIOS) instructions to execute during boot up of the IHS. A host processor is in communication with the memory component via the system interconnect to execute the BIOS instructions to configure the IHS. A support processor executes instructions to configure the IHS to: (a) calculate a current hash value for the BIOS instructions; (b) access a trusted encrypted hash value and the unique key from a secure storage; (c) decrypt the trusted encrypted hash value using the unique key to obtain a trusted hash value; (d) determine whether the current hash value is identical to the trusted hash value; and (e) allow execution of the BIOS instructions by the host processor in response to determining that the encrypted current hash value is identical to the trusted hash value.

摘要: A system and computer program product provide processor initialization in different platform environments via a single code set. The system includes: in response to detecting a power-on operation of the processor, a microcontroller retrieving hardware procedures (HWP) framework code from a storage and triggering execution of the HWP framework code on the processor. The execution of the HWP framework code generates a HWP framework that comprises a plurality of application programming interfaces (APIs) which govern how all communication processes involving hardware procedures can be accomplished. The system further includes the microcontroller performing one or more initialization procedures by communicating one or more attribute data via the HWP framework to configure the processor for operation within a specific platform environment in which the processor is to be operated. The HWP framework includes standard interfaces and enables direct updates to hardware procedures without requiring a new flash code or a firmware patch.
