Abstract
A selecting device that receives a digital connector ID signal and that generates a device output signal, the connector ID signal being representative of a connector ID for a connector that receives a server module, the device output signal being indicative of whether the server module is selected as a master server. Generating a signal indicative of an information handling system module rank includes generating a connector ID signal when a module is coupled to a chassis connector having a connector ID associated therewith, the connector ID signal being representative of the connector ID, receiving the connector ID signal at a selecting device, and generating a device output signal using the selecting device, the device output signal being indicative of a module rank.
