APPLIANCES POWERED OVER SAS |
| 摘要 |
Methods and structure for powering storage devices over a SAS interface. An exemplary system includes a storage device that includes a receptacle configured to receive a plug that communicates Serial Attached Small Computer Systems Interface compliant signals from a host system. The storage device also includes a microcontroller configured to detect a first power level on a power contact of the receptacle. The storage device further includes a circuit board configured to power up to the first power level via the microcontroller, to receive an inter-integrated circuit communication that indicates a second power level is available, and to power up to the second power level to sufficiently power a storage appliance. |

1. A storage device, comprising:
a receptacle configured to receive a plug that communicates Serial Attached Small Computer Systems Interface compliant signals from a host system; a microcontroller configured to detect a first power level on a power contact of the receptacle; and a circuit board configured to power up to the first power level via the microcontroller, to receive an inter-integrated circuit communication that indicates a second power level is available, and to power up to the second power level to sufficiently power a storage appliance. |
