Abstract
A method and apparatus to detect, initialize and isolate a non-operating memory module in a system without physically removing the memory module from the system is provided. The memory module includes a power management integrated circuit to provide power to a memory integrated circuit on the memory module. During initialization of the memory module, if an error log stored in a non-volatile memory in the memory module indicates a fatal error condition from a prior power cycle, the memory module is electrically isolated.
