Abstract
A computer system includes a chassis comprising location indicating elements, such as springs, magnets, standoffs, or other types of location indicating elements physically attached to the chassis in a configuration that indicates locations in the chassis. Also, the computer system includes multiple printed circuit boards comprising pads configured to interface with the location indicating elements, wherein combinations of sensed or not sensed location indicating elements at the pads of the printed circuit boards provide a physically verified placement location for the printed circuit boards.
