Abstract:
Embodiments of the present technology presented herein relate to a method for configuring a remote node and to a host node for performing said configuring of the remote node. The present technology presented herein also generally relates to embodiments of a method for reconfiguring the host node and to a reconfigurable host node. More particularly, the embodiments presented herein relate to configuring the remote node and reconfiguring the host by duplicating Peripheral Component Interconnect express, PCIe, hot-plug elements such that they are present at both the host node and the remote node. Furthermore there is introduced a connection state indicator at both the host node and the remote node for indicating that an optical connection has been established between the host and remote node.

Claim (Index 4):
A host node for configuring a remote node, comprising an optical interface for receiving a second end of an optical cable, the first end of which is connected to an optical interface of the remote node, said optical cable being configured for communication between the remote node and a host node, each node comprising Peripheral Component Interconnect express, PCIe, hot-plug elements and a connection state indicator, said host node being configured to perform the following steps in response to plugging the second end of the optical cable into the optical interface of the host node:\n determine, by means of a hot-plug controller in the host node, the status of the connection state indicator of the host node; activate, by means of the hot-plug controller, an attention button of the hot-plug elements in response to determining that the connection state indicator indicates that an optical connection has been established between the remote node and the host node; request, by means of the hot-plug controller, a hot-plug system driver of the host node to configure the remote node; configure the remote node; and, turn on, by means of the hot-plug controller, a power indicator Light Emitting Diode, (\u201cLED\u201d), in response to that the configuring process of the remote node has been terminated.
