Computer System Architecture With Hot Pluggable Main Memory Boards

View page
US Patent:
7035953, Apr 25, 2006
Filed:
Jun 25, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/179001
Inventors:
Jeoff M. Krontz - Tomball TX, US
Kevin G. Depew - Kingwood TX, US
John D. Nguyen - Cypress TX, US
David F. Heinrich - Tomball TX, US
David W. Engler - Cypress TX, US
Vincent Nguyen - Sugarland TX, US
Randolph O. Dow - Waller TX, US
Owais Kidwai - Cypress TX, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 13/00
US Classification:
710302, 710301, 710312
Abstract:
The specification discloses a server system implementing hot pluggable memory boards in an architecture using X86 processors and off-the-shelf operating system, such as Windows or Netware, which do not support hot plugging operations. Thus, the specification discloses systems and related methods for hot plugging main memory boards transparent to, and without the help of, the operating system. The operating system need only have the ability to recognize additional memory in order to use it. Moreover, the specification discloses a related set of memory error detection and correction techniques, again which are implementing transparent to, and without the help of, the operating system.

Computer Failure Recovery And Alert System

US Patent:
55967116, Jan 21, 1997
Filed:
Jan 26, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/390499
Inventors:
David M. Burckhartt - Houston TX
Lazaro D. Perez - Houston TX
Theodore F. Emerson - Houston TX
Randolph O. Dow - Cypress TX
Gary A. Stimac - Montgomery TX
Assignee:
Compaq Computer Corporation - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 1134
US Classification:
39518221
Abstract:
A computer system includes a timer which times out if the operating system of the computer system does not periodically reset the timer. When the computer system fails and no longer resets the timer, the timer times out, and the computer system is reset. The computer system performs its power on program and checks the memory array for bad memory blocks, which are mapped out of the memory. Next, the computer system alerts the operator of the failure using a pager. The computer system then reboots itself from a hard drive having two separate bootable partitions, one for the operating system in the first partition, and one for a diagnostics program in the second partition, so that an operator may diagnose and remedy the problem. The operator may set an indication of which partition to use for booting. The system further provides for remote access so that the operator may interact with the diagnostics program from a remote location.
