Abstract
A chassis front-end is disclosed. The chassis front-end may include a switchboard including an Ethernet switch, a Baseboard Management Controller, and a mid-plane connector. The chassis front-end may also include a mid-plane including at least one storage device connector and a speed logic to inform at least one storage device of an Ethernet speed of the chassis front-end. The Ethernet speeds may vary.
Claims18
A first device, comprising:
- an interface to connect to a second device via a connector;
- and
- a mode component to receive from the second device a signal, the second device configured to send the signal,
- wherein the first device is configured to change from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation based at least in part on the signal, the first mode of operation associated with a first speed of operation and the second mode of operation associated with a second speed of operation, the first speed of operation being faster than the second speed of operation.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- receiving a signal at a first device from a second device over an interface to connect to the second device via a connector, the second device sending the signal;
- and
- configuring the first device to change from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation, the first mode of operation associated with a first speed of operation and the second mode of operation associated with a second speed of operation.
