Interposer Plug Count
We can track the number of times that a multiple chip module (MCM) has been replaced or
re-seated on a given interposer. This interposer plug count provides you with information
needed to prevent field problems due to damaged or overused interposers. Whenever a
service action is performed on a system that requires the replacement or re-seating of an
MCM, service personnel are responsible for updating the plug count for that interposer
(Figure 10-46).
