ABSTRACT:
One aspect of the invention relates to an apparatus for detecting environmental faults in a computer system. In one version of the invention, the apparatus includes a means for measuring a physical parameter with a sensor coupled to the computer system, the sensor being associated with a sensor type and identification code; a means for transmitting a signal from the sensor to the computer system, the signal being responsive to the measurement; a means for determining whether an environmental fault condition exists by comparing the signal to a pre-determined threshold; means for determining an error type, identification code and sensor type; and a means for writing fault data to an environmental warning register, the fault data comprising the sensor type, identification code and error type.
