Damage detection system

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
• initiating a power on sequence of a computer equipment, wherein the computer equipment comprises:
• a plurality of sensors at a serviceable location within a component of the computer equipment, the plurality of sensors communicating with a sensor monitor coupled with an interlock mechanism, and a service console capable of communicating with the sensor monitor;
• receiving, by the sensor monitor, feedback data from one or more of the plurality of sensors during the power on sequence, wherein each of the plurality of sensors is detecting a physical condition at the serviceable location;
• determining whether the feedback data from one or more of the plurality of sensors exceeds a predefined threshold value, wherein the feedback data exceeding the predefined threshold value is associated with a fault at a serviceable location;
• in response to the feedback data exceeding the predefined threshold value, logging the fault at the serviceable location;
• aborting the power on sequence of the equipment;
• and
• prompting, via the service console, an equipment servicer of the fault at the serviceable location.

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable non-transitory article of manufacture tangibly embodying computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause a computer to carry out a method comprising:
• initiating a power on sequence of a computer equipment, wherein the computer equipment comprises:
• a plurality of sensors at a serviceable location within a component of the computer equipment, the plurality of sensors communicating with a sensor monitor coupled with an interlock mechanism, and a service console capable of communicating with the sensor monitor;
• receiving, by the sensor monitor, feedback data from one or more of the plurality of sensors during the power on sequence, wherein each of the plurality of sensors is detecting a physical condition at the serviceable location;
• determining whether the feedback data from one or more of the plurality of sensors exceeds a predefined threshold value, wherein the feedback data exceeding the predefined threshold value is associated with a fault at a serviceable location;
• in response to the feedback data exceeding the predefined threshold value, logging the fault at the serviceable location;
• aborting the power on sequence of the equipment;
• and
• prompting, via the service console, an equipment servicer of the fault at the serviceable location.
