Abstract
A method and system comprising at least one service processor that is connected to memory and a host system. Additionally, the host system includes at least one host input resource device, such as, for example, a floppy disk, and an interface connecting the host input resource device to the service processor. The interface provides a means for the host input resource device to update, restore, or initialize host system parts or images. In one embodiment, this invention disconnects the host input resource device from main system power and connects it to auxiliary standby power. Thus, the host input resource device makes possible a less costly, less burdensome update of any piece of a data processing system.
