Abstract

A method and a computer program product provide for various operations in a computer. The operations may comprise detecting that a power management integrated circuit has experienced a power fault, wherein the power management integrated circuit is included in a memory module that is installed in a slot of a computer. The operations may further comprise powering off the memory module and attempting to access a fault register of the power management integrated circuit in response to detecting the power fault. Still further, the operations may comprise storing a fault flag in non-volatile memory data storage of a management controller in the computer in response to the power management integrated circuit being inaccessible, wherein the fault flag is stored in association with a serial number of the memory module and a slot identifier for the slot of the computer where the memory module is installed.
