Abstract
The present invention relates to a mechanism for detecting the correct or incorrect attachment of cabling between a host computer and a peripheral device and more generally between any two information processing products. A host computer uses signal transmission and/or particular electrical characteristics to uniquely identify particular pins, and a peripheral device checks the location of these signals and characteristics in its input wires to determine the actual position of a connector in relation to its proper position. Information from the detection can be developed either by the peripheral device or by the host to identify the required corrective action to place the connector in the correct position.
