ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the disclosures made herein is a data processing system adapted for enabling at least one of presence and operating condition of system components installed in the data processing system to be monitored. Examples of presence include installed and uninstalled. Examples of operating conditions include temperature, voltage, current, duty-cycle, etc. The data processing system includes provides a user interface adapted for displaying a 1:1 mapped representation of the data processing system. Operating conditions of installed system components may be assessed via the user interface. A system component that is installed in its respective location in the data processing system (e.g., in a particular socket) is depicted in the 1:1 mapped representation of the data processing system as being installed in a corresponding location of the data processing system. After performing an operation for installing a particular system component in its respective location of the data processing system (e.g., adding additional memory in an empty memory slot), the user interface is updated automatically to depict the particular system component as being installed in a corresponding location in the 1:1 mapped representation of the data processing system. A displayed system component representation of a failed or failing system component may be highlighted in the user interface for aiding in identifying the failed of failing system component.
