Abstract
Systems and methods of controlling operation of a connection device associated with a modular computing system are disclosed. For instance, data indicative of a connection between a first connection device and a second connection device can be obtained. The first connection device can be associated with a modular computing device, and the second connection device can be associated with a modular component to be implemented within the modular computing device. Each connection device can include a plurality of connector elements. Data indicative of one or more configuration parameters of the second connection device can be obtained. An operating configuration of the first connection device can be determined based at least in part on the data indicative of the one or more configuration parameters. Operation of the first connection device can be controlled based at least in part on the operating configuration.
