Abstract

See full text

Modules coupled to multiple connectors can check to see if full connectivity is provided through the connectors. If it is not, for instance because the connectors are mis-seated, the modules can prevent themselves from fully powering up. In a storage environment, a first module is coupled to connectors. The connectors are coupled to corresponding disk drives. Each connector provides a connectivity indication. The module prevents itself from fully powering up if it fails to receive a connectivity indication from a subset of connectors coupled to boot disks.
