Multiple Server In-Rush Current Reduction

View page
US Patent:
6968465, Nov 22, 2005
Filed:
Jun 24, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/178300
Inventors:
Jason W. Freevol - Cypress TX, US
Alexander C. Ekrot - Tomball TX, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F001/30
G06F001/26
US Classification:
713300, 713330, 323908
Abstract:
The specification discloses a system and related method for delaying the powering-on of a server after loss of power. In this way, each server in a rack of servers may have its power restored at staggered times to minimize in-rush current associated with start-up of the rack-mounted server system.

Multi-Server Fault Tolerance Using In-Band Signalling

View page
US Patent:
58127518, Sep 22, 1998
Filed:
Oct 3, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/943655
Inventors:
Alexander C. Ekrot - Humble TX
James H. Singer - Houston TX
John M. Hemphill - Spring TX
Jeffrey S. Autor - Houston TX
William C. Galloway - Houston TX
Dennis J. Alexander - Spring TX
Assignee:
Compaq Computer Corporation - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 1134
US Classification:
39518202
Abstract:
A primary server/standby server network configuration according to the invention includes a primary server executing network operating system software and a standby server monitoring for the proper operation of the primary server, where both the primary server and the standby server are connected to a storage system. If the primary server fails, the standby server instructs the storage system to switch its hardware connections to the standby server, allowing the standby server to boot the operating system. This instruction is done via in-band signaling. Further, multiple primary servers can be backed up by a single standby server.

Electronic Apparatus Having Removable Processor/Heat Pipe Cooling Device Modules Therein

View page
US Patent:
59868821, Nov 16, 1999
Filed:
Oct 16, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/951932
Inventors:
Alexander C. Ekrot - Humble TX
James P. Shero - Houston TX
Assignee:
Compaq Computer Corporation - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 116
H05K 720
US Classification:
361687
Abstract:
A computer server unit has a closely spaced series of parallel, facing processor modules with inner edge portions thereof being operatively and removably received in socket connectors on a main system board within the server unit housing. Voltage regulation modules, in the form of power converter cards, are interdigitated with the series of processor modules, with each power converter card being operatively coupled to an associated one of the processor modules. To permit the efficient dissipation of operating heat from the closely spaced processor modules and voltage regulation modules, each removable processor module has a specially designed cooling module supported thereon for removal therewith from the system board. Each cooling module includes an evaporator plate secured to a side surface of one of the processor modules, a plurality of heat pipes extending parallel to the evaporator plate and having first end portions conductively secured to he evaporator plate and second end portions extending outwardly past an outer edge portion of the processor module and connected to a finned heat exchanger. Operating heat from each processor module is transferred through its evaporator plate and heat pipes to its finned heat exchanger.

Edgecard Circuit Board

View page
US Patent:
57724482, Jun 30, 1998
Filed:
Apr 2, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/631606
Inventors:
Alexander Craig Ekrot - Humble TX
Bassam Nakhle Elkhoury - Spring TX
Assignee:
Compaq Computer Corporation - Houston TX
International Classification:
H01R 909
US Classification:
439 60
Abstract:
A printed circuit board that includes contact slider regions between conductive pads on the printed circuit board is disclosed. The printed circuit board is particularly suited for high density situations. According to one embodiment, a printed circuit board according to the invention includes a connection edge for insertion into a connector, a first row of conductive pads disposed on one or both sides of the printed circuit board proximate to the connection edge and extending away therefrom in a predetermined direction, and a row of slider regions disposed on one or both sides of the printed circuit board proximate to the connection edge and extending away therefrom in the predetermined direction, the slider regions being interposed between the conductive pads of the first row. The printed circuit board according to the invention is not only more reliable and easier to manufacture, but it also wears substantially better than previously designed high density circuit boards.

Data Bus Having Switch For Selectively Connecting And Disconnecting Devices To Or From The Bus

View page
US Patent:
60617543, May 9, 2000
Filed:
Jun 25, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/882615

Assignee:
Compaq Computer Corporation - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 1300
US Classification:
710126
Abstract:
A data bus structure is disclosed. The structure includes a data bus having a bus agent connection point and a bus switch to selectively connect or disconnect the connection point to or from the data bus. A method of reconfiguring a data bus structure is also disclosed. The method includes providing two bus agent connection points on a data bus and a bus switch between the bus agent connection points and selecting the number of bus agent connection points on the bus by controlling the state of the bus switch.
