Abstract

It is an object to provide an information processing device and a computer-readable recording medium that enable achieving reduction in the man-hours of an operator. An information processing device comprises, a processor and a plurality of slots provided for installation of an electronic component. The processor that executes a process including; first detecting presence or absence of installation of the electronic component in each of the slots; second detecting, based on detection result obtained by the first detecting and based on an installation candidate pattern indicating presence or absence of installation of an electronic component in each of the slots as determined based on configuration of the information processing device, an installation defect of the electronic component; and notifying, when the installation defect is detected by the second detecting, the installation detect.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a processor and a plurality of slots provided for installation of an electronic component;

wherein

the processor that executes a process including;

first detecting presence or absence of installation of the electronic component in each of the slots;

second detecting, based on detection result obtained by the first detecting and based on an installation candidate pattern indicating presence or absence of installation of an electronic component in each of the slots as determined based on configuration of the information processing device, an installation defect of the electronic component; and

notifying, when the installation defect is detected by the second detecting, the installation detect.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising a memory that is used to store the installation candidate pattern in a corresponding manner to configuration of the information processing device, wherein

the processor obtains, from the memory, the installation candidate pattern based on configuration of the information processing device.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the second detecting includes,

when the electronic component has been inserted in a slot other than a slot specified in the installation candidate pattern, detecting erroneous insertion as the installation defect, and

when the electronic component has not been inserted in a slot specified in the installation candidate patter, detecting insertion inadequacy as the installation defect.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of processors, wherein

the electronic component is a DIMM, and

the process further includes

deciding on the installation candidate pattern based on number of a processor, DIMM type, and DIMM operation mode.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the process further includes;

selecting, from among installation candidate patterns in which a defect is detected, an installation candidate pattern having smallest number of nonmatching portions with detection result obtained by the first detecting, and

notifying an installation defect detected based on the selected installation candidate pattern and the detection result obtained by the first detecting.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the process further includes,

selecting, from among installation candidate patterns in which a defect is detected, an installation candidate pattern having minimum difference between detection result obtained by the first detecting and installation count of the electronic component, and

notifying an installation defect detected based on the selected installation candidate pattern and the detection result obtained by the first detecting.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the process further includes booting the information processing device when the installation candidate pattern in which the installation defect is not detected by the second detecting is present.

8. A computer-readable recording medium having stored therein an information processing device control program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

detecting presence or absence of installation of an electronic component in each of a plurality of slots provided for installation of the electronic component;

detecting, based on detection result on presence or absence of installation of the electronic component and based on an installation candidate pattern indicating presence or absence of installation of an electronic component in each of the slots as determined based on configuration of concerned device, an installation defect of the electronic component; and

notifying the installation defect.
