Abstract
In at least some embodiments, a system comprises a plurality of electrical devices and management logic coupled to the electrical devices. While the electrical devices are each in a pre-boot environment, the management logic obtains information from the electrical devices and uses the information to determine electrical compatibility of, and/or configure, the electrical devices.
