Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting the presence or absence of a component on a circuit board are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, where the memory includes program instructions store thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: obtain current data from a current monitor, wherein the current monitor monitors current drawn by one or more monitored components of the IHS; and determine based, at least in part, on the current data, a presence or an absence of a required component of the one or more monitored components, or a presence of an unexpected component of the one or more monitored components.
