Abstract:
A rack-mountable data storage system includes: a chassis including one or more switchboards; a midplane interfacing with the one or more switchboards; and one or more data storage devices removably coupled to the midplane using a connector. At least one data storage device of the one or more data storage devices include a logic device to interface with the midplane. The logic device provides a device-specific interface of a corresponding data storage device with the midplane. The at least one data storage device is configured using the logic device according to a first protocol based on a signal on a pin of the connector, and the at least one data storage device is reconfigurable according to a second protocol based on a change of the signal on the pin of the connector using the logic device.

Claim (Index 15):
A programable logic device comprising:\n a register; one or more baseboard management board (BMC) multiplexers; and a slot multiplexer, wherein the programable logic device is integrated in a midplane of a data storage system, and the midplane includes a drive bay including a plurality of connectors to insert one or more data storage devices, wherein the programable logic device provides an interface to one or more BMCs of one or more switchboards using respective ones of the one or more BMC multiplexers to manage operation of the one or more data storage devices, wherein each of the one or more BMC multiplexers is connected to the slot multiplexer to enable BMCs of the one or more switchboards to simultaneously communicate with the one or more data storage devices, wherein the programable logic device provides a device-specific interface to the one or more data storage devices according to a first protocol by allowing each of the one or more BMCs to access the register, and wherein the programable logic device is capable of reconfiguring at least one data storage device of the one or more data storage devices according to a second protocol based on a change of a pin of a connector of the plurality of the connectors corresponding to the at least one data storage device.
