Abstract: Monitoring a plurality of field-replaceable units (FRUs) in an enclosure using two or more microcontroller-equipped power supplies to detect an FRU failure. Upon detection of an FRU failure, a first signal indicative of the failure is communicated from at least one of the microcontroller-equipped power supplies to one or more small computer system interface (SCSI) repeaters over an I2C bus. The one or more SCSI repeaters report a second signal indicative of the failure to one or more central electronics complexes (CECs) over one or more SCSI busses. The first signal may, but need not, be substantially identical to the second signal.
