First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to prevent failure on a server computer, comprising:
- acquiring, by at least one of a plurality of sensors, analog acceleration data of at least one component in the server computer;
converting, by a motor drive assembly, the analog acceleration data to digital acceleration data, the at least one component being controlled by and connected to the motor drive assembly;
analyzing, by the motor drive assembly, the digital acceleration data to detect an existence of performance degradation; and
in response to detecting the existence of the performance degradation, performing, by the motor drive assembly, at least one of a plurality of remediation procedures.

Abstract
A method to prevent failure on a server computer due to internally and/or externally induced shock and/or vibration. The method includes acquiring, by at least one sensor, analog acceleration data of components in a server computer. The data is then converted to digital format and stored within a motor drive assembly processor memory unit. The processor analyzes the stored data for existence of machine degradation. In response to detecting the existence of machine degradation, the motor drive assembly processor initiates remediation procedures. The remediation procedures include controlling rotating speed of moving devices or performing a complete system shut down.
