Abstract: A system and/or network (50) for connecting at least one server (52) to at least one storage device (56) via a Fibre Channel (54). Such a system is capable of providing connection redundancy, high speed data rates, multiple operating systems and, hot plugging. Furthermore, the system allows for a large number of devices to be connected to the Fibre Channel. The devices, being servers, storage devices, or other system related appliances can be separated by more than 10 miles and still communicate via the Fibre Channel at high data rates.

Abstract: A modular computer chassis constructed with a centre pluggable interface adapted for the modular mounting of components on opposite sides thereof. The chassis includes frontal and rear regions which are open and adapted for receipt of modular computer components therein for direct coupling to the centre pluggable interface. An isolation frame is also provided within the chassis for physically and electrically isolating select components therein one from the other. A slidable mounting array is also provided for facilitating flexibility in the mounting of half height and one-third height disk drives adjacent to the centre pluggable interface for flexibility in the design and utilization of the chassis of the present invention.

Abstract: A FIFO with locked exchange capability is disclosed. The FIFO has a memory for storing and retrieving data submissions, a write address generator and a read address generator for sequentially addressing the memory. A difference counter maintains the difference between the number of writes to the queue and reads from the queue. The net difference, as tracked by the counter is a measure of the FIFO utilization. To detect the queue full condition, a comparator compares the maximum FIFO stack depth against the counter output. The result of this comparison is latched and provided to a write strobe generator so that, in a subsequent write operation, if the FIFO is full, the write strobe from the producer is blocked and the data will not be written to the FIFO. Otherwise, the write strobe from the producer is passed to the memory. Additionally, a remaining space count is maintained in a status register. During operation, a bus master performing the read-modify-write cycle to the FIFO reads the status register to find the available space in the FIFO and immediately writes the data to the FIFO. If the read returns a zero, indicating that the FIFO is full, the bus master requeues the data for another read-modify-write cycle as it knows that the data has not been stored in the FIFO.
