Abstract
A computing device configured to detect proper cable assembly to improve assembly and problem diagnosis is provided. The computing device includes a motherboard, a function board, and a middle plane connecting the motherboard and function board. The motherboard includes a baseboard management controller (BMC). The BMC is connected to I2C buses. The function board includes integrated circuits. The middle plane includes cable connections interconnecting the I2C buses that are connected to the BMC and the integrated circuits. The integrated circuits have unique system addresses that are identifiable by the BMC.
