A technique for differentiating nodes in a multi-node electronic system includes establishing an intended configuration for the system, the configuration including a number of nodes to be installed and a specification of intended node locations. A node ID for each of multiple nodes to be installed in the system is established, and the multiple nodes are installed. Using the node ID established for each of the multiple nodes, a determination is made whether the multiple nodes as installed comply with the intended configuration.

A memory module that comprises a plurality of memory circuits, at least one serial presence detect (SPD) memory circuit, and a plurality of data lines that transfer data to and from the plurality of memory circuits. The memory module may further comprise a testing logic that utilizes data stored in the SPD memory circuit to inject a memory error into one or more of the plurality data lines.
