Yes, it's only used in the sense of "computer-system", but not a "system" like a "pattern":

{De'wI' patmey} computer systems; 
{Hongghor pat} impulse drive system; 
{Hub patmey} defense systems; 
{jolpat} transporter system; 
{tep jolpat} cargo transporter; 
{wey jolpat} personnel transporter; 
{noch patmey} remote sensing systems; 
{nuH pat} weapons grid; 
{pIvghor pat} warp drive system; 
{QeD patmey} science systems; 
{Qum patmey} communications systems; 
{SeHwI' pat} control system; 
{leng Dotlh SeHwI' pat} flight reaction control system; 
{muD ngeb SeHwI' pat} atmospheric control system; 
{ya patmey} tactical systems;

nb: {yIntagh} life-support system

I hope these are enough examples.
