SERVER DEVICE CAPABLE OF BEING STABLY OPERATED IN SPITE OF POWER LOSS AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18167263 titled 'SERVER DEVICE CAPABLE OF BEING STABLY OPERATED IN SPITE OF POWER LOSS AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a server device and method that can continue operating even during a power loss.

  • The server device includes a host system, multiple memory modules, a backplane, and replaceable battery modules.
  • The backplane transfers main power from the host system to the memory modules.
  • The replaceable battery modules are connected to the backplane and provide auxiliary power to the memory modules.
  • The memory modules consist of volatile and non-volatile memory, and a memory module controller.
  • In the event of a power loss, the memory module controller uses the auxiliary power from the battery modules to either maintain data in the volatile memory or transfer it to the non-volatile memory.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a server device which may be stably operated in spite of power loss and a method of operating the same. The server device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a host system; a plurality of memory modules; a backplane configured to transmit main power supplied from the host system to the plurality of memory modules; and at least one replaceable battery module connected to the backplane and configured to supply first auxiliary power to the plurality of memory modules, wherein the plurality of memory modules includes a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory; and a memory module controller using the first auxiliary power supplied from the at least one replaceable battery module to maintain data of the volatile memory or flush data of the volatile memory to the non-volatile memory, in response to the power loss occurring in the main power.
