Abstract

See full text

A system and method are provided for utilizing system configurations in a modular computer system. The system and method includes one or more modular components and a midplane operable to receive a modular component configuration. One or more system configurations determine how the modular components interoperate with each other. A management module determines if the modular component configuration satisfies a selected system configuration and provides an indication of whether the modular component configuration satisfies one or more requirements of the selected system configuration. When the modular component configuration does not satisfy the requirements of the selected system configuration, the management module provides a configuration warning alerting a user to a configuration problem with the modular component configuration. The configuration warning allows the user to know that a modular component configuration problem and not a modular component hardware malfunction is causing an error within the modular computer system.
