Abstract
A system and method for recording fault information in an electronic system are disclosed herein. A system includes fault analysis logic and a plurality of field replaceable units ('FRUs'). The fault analysis is configured to analyze system error information, and identify at least one of the FRUs in the system to be a possible cause of a detected fault based on the analysis. Each FRU includes writeable non-volatile storage including storage locations reserved to store information including a result of the analysis. The result of the analysis indicates a reason that the FRU storing the information was determined, by the fault analysis logic, to be a possible cause of the fault.
