Abstract: A rack server system is provided. When a power source supplied to the rack server system is normal, a part of the power source is supplied to a management module in the rack server system and the other part of the power source charges the energy storage component. When the power source supplied to the rack server system is abnormal, the power source will be blocked and not be supplied to the management module, thereby preventing the rack server system from operating abnormally. In stead of the power source, the electricity stored in the energy storage component is supplied to the management module. Herein, the management module also records this situation as the state information about the rack server system whereby the rack server system can be managed according to the state information.

Abstract: A system and method may monitor a mission critical processor power supply and recover from an intermittent power interruption. A subsystem of one or more processors may be tasked with a power monitoring function enabling processor self-monitoring and recovery. The subsystem monitors the power state of the processors and should a power interruption be sensed, the subsystem may be directed by a memory source external to the primary memory source for normal system operation. The subsystem directs each processing function within each processor to disable and remain disabled until the power interruption ceases. Once the power interruption is complete, the subsystem directs each processing function to refresh and restore to a previous state of full functionality.

Abstract: A switch failure recovery system includes a network and a backup device that is coupled to the network. A first switch that includes a first switch memory system is also coupled to the network. The first switch stores a first switch configuration in the first switch memory system. The first switch then detects a failure issue associated with an imminent failure of the first switch and, in response, retrieves the first switch configuration from the first switch memory system, The first switch then sends the first switch configuration over the network to the backup device prior to an inability to communicate over the network due to the failure issue. The backup device may then provide the first switch configuration for application to the first switch (upon recovery) or a second switch that is coupled to the network.

Abstract: A power supply failover system/method providing uninterruptable power to protected load devices (PLD) is disclosed. The system includes a failover switch controller (FSC) with inputs from an AC I/V monitor (AIV), AC cycle counter (ACC), failover switch timer (FST), and overcurrent protection timer (OPT). The FSC utilizes these inputs to control failsafe switching of a bypass phase switch (BPS) and AC phase switch (ACS) to the PLD when power from the APS is determined to be good by the AIV. When power from the APS is determined to be compromised by the AIV, the FPS disables the ACS/BPS and enables a DC switch (DCS) and battery isolation switch (BIS) to connect a DC source to the PLD after a time period determined by the FST. APS/DCS overcurrent protection is limited by OPT intervals allowing a smooth transition between the APS to DCS during power failover/failback.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种向受保护的负载设备（PLD）提供不间断电源的电源故障切换系统/方法。 该系统包括一个具有来自AC I / V监视器（AIV），AC循环计数器（ACC），故障切换定时器（FST）和过流保护定时器（OPT）的输入的故障转移开关控制器（FSC）。 当APA的功率被AIV确定为良好时，FSC利用这些输入来将旁路相位开关（BPS）和AC相位开关（ACS）的故障保护切换控制到PLD。 当确定APS的电源被AIV损坏时，FPS会禁用ACS / BPS，并使直流开关（DCS）和电池隔离开关（BIS）在一个由PLD确定的时间段之后将直流电源连接到PLD FST。 APS / DCS过流保护受OPT间隔的限制，允许在电源故障转移/故障恢复期间APS到DCS之间的平滑过渡。
