Abstract

The present invention is directed to a data storage system utilizing a number of data storage devices. The data storage system features one or more storage device sleds, which may each carry multiple storage devices. Each storage device sled and its interconnected storage devices may comprise a field replaceable unit, hi response to the detection of a failure associated with a field replaceable unit, information related to that failure may be stored in memory or storage associated with the field replaceable unit. Repair personnel may access the stored information in order to positively identify the failed component of the field replaceable unit in connection with the repair or replacement of that component, in order to return the field replaceable unit to service.
