8. A non-transitory medium that records an error notification program that controls a computer to execute error notification when an error occurs in the inside of a unit that can be replaced even during operation of an information processing apparatus in a manner readable by the computer, the error notification program controlling the computer to execute:
-
initializing replacement information retained in a storage device included in the unit and indicating that the unit has been replaced, when the unit is replaced; initializing disabled information indicating that notification of an error is disabled and setting a predetermined value to the replacement information, when the replacement information is initialized and an error occurs; setting a predetermined value to the disabled information based on an error occurrence frequency; and disabling notification of an error when the predetermined value is set to the disabled information, and notifying an error when the predetermined value is not set to the disabled information. - View Dependent Claims (9)

10. An error notification method of when an error occurs in the inside of a unit that can be replaced even during operation of an information processing apparatus, the error notification method that executes:
-
initializing replacement information retained in a storage device included in the unit and indicating that the unit has been replaced, when the unit is replaced; initializing disabled information indicating that notification of an error is disabled and setting a predetermined value to the replacement information, when the replacement information is initialized and an error occurs; setting a predetermined value to the disabled information based on an error occurrence frequency; and disabling notification of an error when the predetermined value is set to the disabled information, and notifying an error when the predetermined value is not set to the disabled information.
