1. A method for monitoring input/output performance in a data processing system, comprising:

  • executing a performance benchmark run on the data processing system with a remote input/output drawer;

    logging onto a bulk power controller in response to executing the performance benchmark run, wherein the bulk power controller provides a communications path between the data processing system and the remote input/output drawer, and wherein the communications path allows the data processing system to access chip register information on the remote input/output drawer without using a remote input/output link; and

    obtaining the chip register information and monitoring input/output performance using the communications path.
