Abstract
In one embodiment, a computing device detects a module that is inserted into a first slot. The computing device includes a first slot to operate with a first type of module and a second slot to operate with a second type of module. The first slot and the second slot include a same pin position for receiving a power supply pin from the first type of module and the second type of module. The module is communicated with to determine whether the module is the first type of module or the second type of module. The first type of module receives a first type of signal that is combined with a second type of signal from the second type of module. The computing device adjusts a power supply voltage to the power supply pin of the first slot from a first value to a second value when the first type of module is detected.
