Abstract
A cable module comprises a connector printed circuit assembly (PCA) and a cable electrically connected to the connector PCA. The connector PCA includes a printed circuit board (PCB); a connector mounted to the PCB and configured to receive a drive connector of a media drive of an information processing device; and pogo pins mounted to the PCB. The cable module is configured to be mounted to a cable module mounting location of a backplane panel. The pogo pins are positioned to engage the backplane panel in a mounted state of the cable module to the backplane panel. A microcontroller may, in a mounted state of the cable module to the backplane panel, receive output signals from the pogo pins and determine identification information of the cable module mounting location to which the cable module is mounted based on the output signals from the pogo pins.
