Assignee:

EMC Corporation - Hopkinton MA

International Classification:

H01R 12/00

US Classification:

439 61, 361785

Abstract:

A system having expansion slots is capable of multiple configurations. In a first configuration, a first blade is coupled to a first module via a first expansion slot and a second blade is coupled to a second module via a second expansion slot. The first and second modules may be I/O modules such as PCI Express modules. In a second configuration the first and second blades are both coupled to a third module via the first and second expansion slots. The third module may be a shared resource such as a cache card.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173
G06F 13/00

US Classification:

709223, 710104

Abstract:

Described is an enclosure that is configurable to perform either in-band or out-of-band enclosure management. The enclosure includes a midplane, a processor blade, and a management module. The processor blade has program code for collecting management information from other components in the enclosure. If the enclosure is configured for in-band enclosure management, the processor blade executes the program code to collect the management information. If the enclosure is configured for out-of-band enclosure management, the management module is configured to execute program code for collecting the management information instead of the processor blade.

Appl. No.:

15/629323

Inventors:

Robert VALENTINE - Glenwood Landing NY, US

International Classification:

B60W 30/14

Abstract:

Aftermarket control kits, systems, and methods are operable for use in a vehicle retrofitted with a non-original powertrain having an OEM engine control module and without an OEM body control module. A kit includes, for example, an aftermarket control module operably connectable to the non-original powertrain via a vehicle communication bus in the retrofitted vehicle without the body control module, and the aftermarket control module is adapted to receive control signals from a driver activatable control switch and provide data via the vehicle communication bus so that the non-original powertrain without the body control module is operable to operate the vehicle in response to the driver activatable control signals. The aftermarket control module may be an aftermarket cruise control module, an aftermarket manumatic transmission control module, or a combination aftermarket cruise control module and manumatic transmission control module.
