<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data processing system equipped with a hot plug function without intervention for several main hardware components, such as a processor, a memory, and an input/output (I/O) channel. <P>SOLUTION: The data processing system comprises former processors connected to each other via an attachment feature, a former memory, and a former input and the output (I/O) channel. Furthermore, the data processing system also comprises a service element and an operating system (OS). The attachment feature comprises an interconnect line, a hardware component, and a software logic component, which enables the processing system to embody functions of hot plug addtion (or removal) of reconstruction functions, which are the addition and the removal of the processor, the memory, and the I/O channel. Various components are added to the system without interfering the existing component processing and used in the expanded system they can be used immediately. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
