Abstract

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and a first remote access controller device located on the first motherboard and coupled to the first SPI. An off-motherboard SPI storage device is connected to the first SPI, and when the first remote access controller device determines that log entries have been generated, it automatically copies the log entries to the off-motherboard SPI storage device via the first SPI. A second motherboard includes a second SPI that couples to the off-motherboard SPI storage device when the second motherboard replaces the first motherboard in the chassis. A second remote access controller device located on the second motherboard and coupled to the second SPI will then retrieve the log entries that were automatically copied to the off-motherboard SPI storage device, and send the log entries through a network to a support device.
