Abstract
In an electrical system having a chassis with at least one chassis slot for receiving a chassis electrical device, and at least one connector board with at least one board slot thereon for receiving a connector board electrical device therein, respective memory is provided for storing vital product parametric data associated with the at least one chassis slot, the at least one connector board slot, and the respective electrical devices. The stored vital product parametric data can be accessed by the electrical system to check compatibility.
