  • Automatic reconfiguration apparatus for input/output processor
    Patent number: 4070704
    Abstract: An automatic reconfiguration hardware capability for automatically altering the local memory/processor configuration and reinitiating a bootload sequence in the event of a failure in the start-up phase of the input/output processor bootload. The automatic reconfiguration logic is enabled when a bootload request originates from the system console or the central system. Once a bootload request is initiated, all possible local memory/input-output processor (IOPP) configurations are attempted without further manual intervention. If no configuration is successful, a bootload error indication is presented at the I0P configuration panel.
