An example system includes a memory controller; a memory bus coupled to the memory controller; and a dual inline memory module (DIMM) coupled to the memory controller through the memory bus. The DIMM includes a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) portion; a storage portion; and a gate array portion coupled to the memory bus to detect memory access signals and to store information related to the memory access signals on the storage portion.

Memory access signal detection utilizing a tracer DIMM

An apparatus is used to identify the type of microprocessor assembly mounted on a printed circuit board. A heat sink is coupled to the microprocessor assembly, and a label is coupled to the heat sink. The label has one of a plurality of preselected patterns of optically reflective and non-reflective areas formed thereon, and at least one photodetector is positioned adjacent the microprocessor assembly on the printed circuit board for detecting the preselected pattern.
