ABSTRACT:
One embodiment disclosed relates to a printed circuit assembly (PCA) with built-in circuitry to detect and communicate an interconnect failure. The PCA includes a connector, a continuity detect circuit, and an interface circuit. The connector is configured to interconnect to an electronic unit. The continuity detect circuit is coupled to the connector for detection of continuity failure in the interconnect. The interface circuit is coupled to the continuity detect circuit for communicating data pertaining to status of the interconnect to system management.
