System, apparatus, and/or a method for checking hardware components in an information handling system is disclosed that includes selecting a hardware component for testing; supplying power to the hardware component independent from the power supply provided by the information handling system; performing testing on the selected hardware component using power supplied by the independent power supply; determining the success or failure of the testing on the selected hardware component; indicating the result of the testing on the selected hardware component; and if the result of the testing on the selected hardware component is successful indicate the hardware component passed the testing, and if the result of the testing on the selected hardware component is not successful re-seat the hardware component and perform the testing on the selected hardware again.

System and method for hardware component connectivity verification

An approach for power supply noise mitigation on a processor is provided. In one aspect, the approach comprises a central computing unit operatively coupled to the processor to execute program operations. The approach further comprises a calibration circuit adapted to determine a first threshold on the processor to be used for comparison performed dynamically through the use of a detection circuit. A detection circuit adapted to dynamically monitor system operation of the processor and indicate if the first threshold is violated and a counting circuit adapted to prevent voltage from drooping if one or more voltage sensing measurements violates the first threshold are also provided.
