A COMPUTER WITH SWITCHABLE COMPONENTS

摘要

A computer (1) has three modes of operation: normal, repair and switching. I n the switching mode, user input makes the system switch (13, 19) to the repai r mode. Switching can be logically or physically and can control different components of the system. The system reboots and automatically copies data from the template data store (14) to the data store (12) to be repaired. Aft er repair, the user resets the switch (13, 19) and reboots in normal mode. User settings determine what actions are performed in the repair mode.
