Managing memory backup power modules

A computer program product (CPP), comprising:

• a set of one or more computer-readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions, collectively stored in the set of one or more storage media, for causing a processor set to perform the following computer operations:
• in response to a system experiencing an initial microcode load, determine whether memory in the system was disarmed during manufacture, wherein the memory is connected to backup power modules;
• in response to determining that the memory was disarmed during manufacture, monitor for concurrent code loads;
• in response to detecting a concurrent code load, cause energy levels of the backup power modules to be tested;
• and
• in response to determining the energy levels of one or more of the backup power modules are outside a predetermined range, issue a warning.
