System And Method For Power Good Monitor For Multiple Information Handling System Power Supplies
US Patent:
7804672, Sep 28, 2010
Filed:
Jul 30, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/830091
Inventors:
Richard Tonry - Austin TX, US
Nikolai Vyssotski - Austin TX, US
Nikolai Vyssotski - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
H02H 3/00, H02H 3/20, H02H 3/24
US Classification:
361 88, 361 90, 361 92
Abstract:
A switched power rail monitor compares voltages provided by a switched power rail and a power source to detect a predetermined differential indicative of a fault at the switched power rail. A switched power rail fault is communicated to a power manager to take corrective action, such as cutting off power to information handling system components. In one embodiment, a pair of bipolar junction transistors monitor the voltage differential to send an enable signal if the differential is within limits and a disable signal if the differential exceeds limits.

Assignee:
Dell Products, LP - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
G06F 9/00, G06F 15/177
US Classification:
713 1, 713 2
Abstract:
A method of manipulating a system setting when booting an information handling system can include providing an update request repository that includes a plurality of entries. Each of the plurality of entries can correspond to a particular system setting. A system setting value associated with each entry can be included in a handoff block (HOB) of a plurality of handoff blocks associated with a cache. The method also includes receiving a command from a PEI module (PEIM) indicating a change to be made to a particular system setting at the information handling system. The method also includes creating or changing a particular entry of the update request repository based on the command.

Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H02H 305
US Classification:
714 43
Abstract:
An error injection tool, connected to a bus to be tested in such a manner as not to interfere with normal operation, is employed for error detection and recovery design verification. The error injection tool is connected to the bus to be tested within a data processing system, the system is powered on, and applications simulating normal system loading are run. A desired error is then selected, and the error injection tool is actuated. The error injection tool monitors bus cycles and transactions through selected signals and, upon detecting an appropriate cycle or transaction, overdrives a selected conductor within the bus being tested to inject an error. The selected bus conductor is overdriven (forced) to a logic high or a logic low for a single clock cycle, simulating the intermittent nature of errors likely to occur during normal operation. Bus error signals are then monitored to ascertain whether the error was successfully injected. If not, subsequent attempts during appropriate bus cycles or transaction may continue until error injection is successful.

Assignee:
Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
H02J 1/00
US Classification:
307 38
Abstract:
An information handling system AC-to-DC adapter provides a low DC power output on initial application of an AC power input. The low DC power output supports communication between the adapter and the information handling system of adapter identification information. The information handling system confirms a proper connection with the adapter and sends an authorization to the adapter to output a high DC power output. The adapter monitors the connection with the information handling system to disable the high DC power output if not needed, such as if the information handling system is disconnected from the adapter or reaches a fully charged battery state.
