METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AN INTERPOSER BOARD

摘要

In accordance with at least some embodiments, a system includes an aggregator backplane coupled to a plurality of fans and power supplies and configured to consolidate control and monitoring for the plurality of fans and power supplies. The system also includes a plurality of compute nodes coupled to the aggregator backplane, wherein each compute node selectively communicates with the aggregator backplane via a corresponding interposer board. Each interposer board is configured to translate information passed between its corresponding compute node and the aggregator backplane.

1. An interposer board for interfacing a compute node with an aggregator backplane of a server enclosure, the interposer board comprising:
a printed circuit board (PCB); and an interposer programmable interface controller (PIC) mounted on the PCB, the interposer PIC being configured to bridge a single-master serial bus topology for communications between the compute node and the interposer board with a multi-master serial bus topology for communications between the interposer board and the aggregator backplane.
