Abstract:
1. A communication system for a rack-mount server system, comprising: a serial bus network interconnecting a management module with each of a plurality of blade servers in a multi-server chassis; in each blade server, a first transceiver subsystem configured to independently communicate lower-bandwidth management traffic over the serial bus network between the management module and the blade server within a first frequency band and a second transceiver subsystem configured to communicate higher bandwidth management traffic over the serial bus network between the management module and the blade server within a second frequency band simultaneously with the first transceiver subsystem communicating the lower-bandwidth management traffic over the serial bus network between the management module and the blade server within the first frequency band; and a signal-filtering subsystem configured to selectively filter the management traffic to electronically separate the higher-bandwidth management traffic from the lower-bandwidth management traffic.
