ABSTRACT:
A fault tolerant method of independent powering of diagnostic processes through a remote interface by use of a serial (local) or modem (dial-in) gateway. A server connects to a local or remote facility which includes a client computer. If the internal server power is off, the remote interface provides independent external power to portions of the server to enable reading of the server internal status or to remotely power up the server from the client computer. The remote interface provides bias power to a chassis microcontroller and a system recorder comprising a non-volatile memory and a microcontroller. The management of the server devices is directed by a network of microcontrollers without intervention by the server operating system software.
