DEFINITION

Classification: 714/8

Isolating failed storage location (e.g., sector remapping):

(under subclass 5) Subject matter further including means or steps for recovery by disabling access to a failed memory location.

(1) Note. Classification here requires more than selecting a correct output from a concurrently active redundant functional unit in place of the output of the failed component.
