DEFINITION

Classification: 714/7

Reconfiguration (e.g., adding a replacement storage component):

(under subclass 6) Subject matter further including means or steps for statically replacing a failed memory component.

(1) Note. Classification here requires more than selecting a correct output from a concurrently active redundant functional unit in place of the output of the failed component.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

710+, for recovery from failure of memory, by replacing or isolating the failed memory, in a system without significant data processing features claimed.
