Abstract
An input/output device and a method of setting up identification information for an input/output device, to confirm which slot of which device enclosure each unit is mounted in, within a short time, from a map, and execute quick access to the unit. A unit mounted on a device enclosure is assigned a slot identification information that does not overlap with that for another unit in the device enclosure, each device enclosure is assigned device enclosure identification information that does not overlap with that for another device enclosure, and a table is formed using unit identification information, which consists of the slot identification and the device enclosure identification information, and which does not overlap with that for another unit in the device, thus allowing a unit in the device to be specified.
