Abstract
In an electronic system having at least one enclosure including at least one connecting board with at least one associated device coupled thereto, a respective physical location of each device is electronically determined, and an indication of each respective physical location is stored in memory disposed in the at least one enclosure. An operating system uses the stored physical location indication to correlate logical addresses to physical location.
