    摘要: Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for enabling memory module slots in a computing system after a repair action, the computing system having a plurality of memory module slots and having at least one memory module installed in one of the memory module slots, that includes: determining, during a boot process for the computing system, whether any of the memory module slots are disabled; and if any of the memory module slots are disabled: retrieving, for each memory module installed in one of the memory module slots, a memory module identifier for that memory module, retrieving, from non-volatile memory of the computing system, previously stored memory module identifiers, determining whether the retrieved memory module identifiers match the previously stored memory module identifiers, and enabling the disabled memory module slots if the retrieved memory module identifiers do not match the previously stored memory module identifiers.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, and products are disclosed for preemptive thermal management for a computing system based on cache performance, the computing system having a processor, cached computer memory operatively coupled to the processor, and a processor cache operatively coupled to the processor, the processor cache capable of storing a subset of memory contents of the cached computer memory, that include: attempting, by the processor, to retrieve portions of the memory contents of the cached computer memory from the processor cache, resulting in cache misses for the processor cache; tracking, by the processor, cache miss statistics for the processor cache in the computing system, the cache miss statistics describing the cache misses for the processor cache; and administering a thermal management device for the computing system in dependence upon the cache miss statistics, the thermal management device operatively coupled to the processor and capable of managing temperature for the computing system.

    摘要: A computer system is provided that utilizes a plurality of indicator lights associated with components within the computer system. In this computer system, BIOS logic is configured to detect errors within the system and determine causes for the errors. A service processor, in communication with the BIOS logic, is configured to activate at least two indicator lights from the plurality of indicator lights to indicate possible sources for the detected errors. The service processor activates the at least two indicator lights to generate a visual pattern representative of the likelihood that a component within the computer system is the source for the detected error. The visual pattern comprises a pattern that ranges from a pattern that indicates a high likelihood of being the source for the detected error to a pattern that indicates a lower likelihood of being the source for the detected error.
