Abstract
An information handling system includes a device and a baseboard management controller. The device is configured to communicate with a processor of the information handling system. The baseboard management controller is configured to communicate with the device via an in-band communication channel. The baseboard management controller determines whether data is received from the device via an in-band communication channel, and determines whether the baseboard management controller may communicate with the device via an out-of-band communication channel. In response to the data not being received and the baseboard management controller not able to communicate with the device, the baseboard management controller detects a failure of the device. In response to the detection of the failure of the device, the baseboard management controller isolates the device.
