Abstract
In one aspect, a system includes a service processor (SP), having a processor, a non-volatile memory and a communication interface. The SP receives a component information of components of a host computer from a basic input/output system (BIOS) being executed at a central processing unit (CPU) of the host computer through the communication interface, and stores the received component information in the non-volatile memory. When the SP receives an instruction to display a physical layout of the components of the host computer, the SP retrieves the component information for each of the components stored in the non-volatile memory, and generates corresponding display information for each of the components based on the retrieved component information. Then the SP may send the display information to a remote management computer to display a graphical diagram of the physical layout on a display device at the remote management computer.
