Abstract
A system and method for to modify a setup to allow a restart despite a faulty hardware component is disclosed. The system includes a management controller storing a system error log. The computer system includes hardware components in communication with the management controller. A basic input output system (BIOS) includes a start-up routine that successfully completes if all of the hardware components are functional. The start-up routine determines an error in one of the hardware components from the system error log. The routine disables the hardware component. The routine then completes a power-on self-test routine.
