ABSTRACT:
A computer system includes a plurality of field replaceable units. A system controller monitors system errors. A diagnostic engine is responsive to the system controller detecting an error to identify a faulty field replaceable unit. A reconfiguration engine can then be operable to deconfigure the faulty field replaceable unit. By providing a diagnostic engine to identify a faulty field replaceable unit to be deconfigured, greater reliability with regard to the identification of a faulty unit can be achieved.
