These network interfaces ( 2 - 1 - 2 -N, 5 - 1 - 5 -M) and a network ( 3 ) are incorporated in a system as a single multi-root PCI express switch. The network ( 3 ) tunnels TLPs (Transaction Layer Packets) between the upstream network interfaces ( 2 - 1 - 2 -N) and the downstream network interfaces ( 5 - 1 - 5 -M) or between the downstream network interfaces ( 5 - 1 - 5 -M). This enables to distribute and connect a plurality of computers and a plurality of I/Os on a large scale without changing software, root complexes, and I/Os.

Door opening/closing mechanism and manufacturing method thereof

A door opening/closing mechanism fitted on a door that closes and opens an opening formed in the body of an apparatus by being brought into and out of contact with the rim of the opening has cam mechanisms that permit the door to engage with and disengage from the body at either of the right and left sides of the door (102). The cam mechanisms can be brought into a first lock position in which they lie symmetrically at both sides of the door and into a second lock position in which they lie symmetrically at both sides of the door, and each have a hinge pin (134) that serves as a rotation axis in the second lock position and a groove cam (141, 142) that engages with the hinge pin (134) in such a way as to be movable relative to the hinge pin. The groove cam (141, 142) has a slide portion (142b) on which a part of the innermost portion of the hinge pin slides when the cam mechanism is moved from the first lock position to the second lock position and of which the length in the direction of the width of the door (102) is greater than the maximum permissible variation in the outermost distance ( L ) between the two groove cams formed at both sides of the door. When the door (102) is closed, the cam mechanisms at both sides are kept in the first lock position and, when the door is opened at one side, the door (102) slides and thereby causes the cam mechanism at the other side to be brought into the second lock position so as to be rotatably locked in the second lock position.

Method of constructing software-defined pci express (pci-e) switch

The invention generally relates to the technical field of networking and computer architecture, and more specifically relates to approaches of constructing a system which includes a software-defined network (SDN) box and at least one upstream node and one more than downstream node. The nodes may be divided into several groups. In each group, there is a single upstream node and at least one downstream node. All packets between the upstream node and downstream nodes are forwarded by the SDN box. The SDN box acts as a 'PCI-E switch', which interconnects the upstream node to each downstream node and forwards the encapsulated packets (the inner is PCI-E packets). During the whole communication process, the upstream node treats downstream nodes as ordinary local PCI-E devices.
