ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a device and method for securing integrity of a blind autodock electrical connection in a computer system. A method and device according to the present invention for insuring integrity of a blind autodock electrical connection for use with a computer system includes a stationary assembly and a module. The method and device comprises a first electrical connector coupled to the stationary assembly and a second electrical connector coupled to the module. It also includes a connector sensor coupled to the first connector, and a connector sensor receiver coupled to the second connector. The connector sensor is a device including connector sensors which are coupled via a wire. Connection to at least part of the wire is provided via the second connector to create a circuit which includes a status providing device for determining whether the connector sensor and the connector sensor receiver are coupled in a predetermined manner, wherein the circuit provides an indication of the blind autodock electrical connection integrity.
