Abstract: A method includes initiating a power on sequence of a computer equipment including a plurality of sensors at a serviceable location within a component of the computer equipment, the plurality of sensors communicating with a sensor monitor coupled with an interlock mechanism, and a service console capable of communicating with the sensor monitor, receiving feedback data from the plurality of sensors during the power on sequence, each of the plurality of sensors is detecting a physical condition at the serviceable location, determining whether the feedback data exceeds a predefined threshold value, the feedback data exceeding the predefined threshold value is associated with a fault at a serviceable location, in response to the feedback data exceeding the predefined threshold value, logging the fault at the serviceable location, aborting the power on sequence of the equipment, and prompting an equipment servicer of the fault at the serviceable location.

Abstract: An electro-mechanical fuse is provided and includes a chassis component, an extrusion disposed on a monitored component which is disposable proximate to the chassis component and a sensor. The sensor is mounted to the chassis component. The sensor is mechanically breakable in power-on and power-off conditions by the extrusion as a result of a predefined action of or relative to the monitored component. The sensor electrically signals an occurrence of the mechanical breakage during power-on conditions following mechanical breakage.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a fracture ring sensor and a method of using the same to detect out of tolerance forces. Aspects of the invention include a product having a defined an out of tolerance force, a fracture ring sensor, and a mounting assembly coupling the fracture ring sensor to the product. The fracture ring sensor is patterned with a conductive trace and is manufactured to break when subjected to a predetermined amount of force. The predetermined amount of force is substantially equal to a percentage of the out of tolerance force of the product.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and system for guided service procedure. The embodiment may include receiving feedback data from one or more of a plurality of sensors. Each of the plurality of sensors may detect a physical condition at a serviceable location within an item of equipment. The item of equipment may be undergoing a service procedure by an equipment servicer. The embodiment may include determining whether the received feedback data from one or more of the plurality of sensors exceeds a threshold value. Based on determining that the threshold value is exceeded, the embodiment may include alerting the equipment servicer during the service procedure.
