Abstract

See full text

A system and method for a configurable computer system architecture is disclosed. The computer system architecture includes a power distribution board including a configuration identification strapping. The architecture includes a first node having a first processor and a first baseboard management controller (BMC) coupled to the power distribution board via an internal communication channel. A second node, identical to the first node, has a second processor and a second BMC coupled to the power distribution board via the internal communication channel. The configuration identification strapping is one of a first configuration readable by the first and second BMCs with two nodes operating as independent devices, or a second configuration readable by the first and second BMCs with two nodes operating as a single device. The first BMC serves as a master BMC and the second BMC serves as a slave BMC in the second configuration.
