Abstract

In some embodiments, a method for managing embedded devices may include one or more of the following steps: (a) loading an embedded web server module, (b) loading a first webpage when loading a first embedded module, (c) replacing the first webpage with a second webpage when a second embedded module is loaded or when a failure is detected by the first embedded module, (d) loading a boot loader module, (e) interacting with the computer system to correct the failure condition, (f) loading an embedded operating system module, and (g) loading a third webpage when loading a RAID application module.

Claims (10)

1. A method for managing embedded devices, comprising the steps of:

loading an embedded web server module;

loading a first webpage when loading a first embedded module;

replacing the first webpage with a second webpage when a second embedded module is loaded or when a failure is detected by the first embedded module; and

loading a third webpage when loading a RAID application module.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising loading a boot loader module.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of interacting with the computer system to correct the failure condition.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the second webpage displays a failure in a computer system.
