A SYSTEM AND MEHTOD ARE PROVIDED FOR UTILIZING SYSTEM CONFURIGATIONS IN A MODULAR COMPUTER SYSTEM (10). THE SYSTEM AND MEHTOD INCLUDES ONE OR MORE MODULAR COMPONENTS (18, 20, 22) AND A MIDPLANE (16) OPERABLE TO RECEIVE A MODULAR COMPONENT CONFURIGATION. ONE OR MORE SYSTEM CONFURIGATIONS DETERMINE HOW THE MODULAR COMPONENTS INTEROPERATE WITH EACH OTHER. A MANAGEMENT MODULE (34) DETERMINES IF THE MODULAR COMPONENT CONFURIGATION SATISFIES A SELECTED SYSTEM CONFURIGATION AND PROVIDES AN INDICATION OF WHETHER THE MODULAR COMPONENT CONFURIGATION SATISFIES ONE OR MORE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SELECTED SYSTEM CONFURIGATION. WHEN THE MODULAR COMPONENT CONFURIGATION DOES NOT SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SELECTED SYSTEM CONFURIGATION, THE MANAGEMENT MODULE (34) PROVIDES A CONFURIGATION WARNING ALERTING A USER TO A CONFURIGATION PROBLEM WITH THE MODULAR COMPONENT CONFURIGATION. THE CONFURIGATION WARNING ALLOWS THE USER TO KNOW THAT A MODULAR COMPONENT CONFURIGATION PROBLEM AND NOT A MODULAR COMPONENT HARDWARE MALFUNCTION IS CAUSING AN ERROR WITHIN THE MODULAR COMPUTER SYSTEM (10).
