Abstract
There is provided an apparatus, a method and computer program product for managing one or more components of an electronic machine. A user connects one or more components to an electronic machine in parallel. The electronic machine determines whether the components are failed. A latch device, attached to each component, automatically locks one or more of the components to the electronic machine if the one or more of the components are not failed. The electromechanical latch automatically releases the one or more of the components from the electronic machine if the one or more of the components are failed.
