Abstract
A method comprises obtaining connectivity information from a plurality of electrical devices. Each such electrical device is separately coupled to a backplane, and at least one electrical device comprises a plurality of electrical interfaces adapted to be selectively coupled to each of multiple other electrical devices. Based on connectivity information from the at least one electrical device, the method further comprises providing configuration information to the at least one electrical device to cause the at least one electrical device to electrically couple to a target other electrical device via the backplane.
