Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. has developed a self-diagnostic technology to determine when a power supply unit needs to be replaced. This is software that can run on board the microcontroller of a digitally controlled power supply, such as those used in servers and other information and communication technology (ICT) devices. The power supply units used in ICT hardware have limited lifespans, and maintaining them efficiently is a serious issue in large installations such as datacenters.
