Abstract
A technique includes coupling a resistor network to a plurality of card edge connectors. The resistor network has a resistance, and each card edge connector includes electrical contacts to couple a resistor of a circuit card assembly, when inserted into the card edge connector, to the resistor network to alter the resistance of the resistor network. The technique includes determining a state of the plurality of card edge connectors based on a signal that is provided by the resistor network.
