ABSTRACT:
A maintenance channel for modular computer system reset, configuration, partitioning, and error communication. The maintenance channel includes a sanity code channel to ensure module functionality. The maintenance channel configures the computer system and issues commands to modules using a command channel. Error detection and diagnostics are performed using an error channel. The maintenance channel provides independent processing groups within one computer system, and allows for partial powerdown or isolation of portions of the system without affecting operations in the active portions of the computer system.
