ABSTRACT:
An electronic apparatus wherein at least one detachable module is inserted into a rack and the module is connected with the rack by male/female connector, wherein it is made possible to detect any bending of pins of the male connector before the module is mounted in the rack and therefore incomplete mounting of the module to the rack can be prevented. A light source with high linearity is provided at each of the pins at the male connector side, while conversely a light receiving unit of light is provided at each of the receptacles at the female connector side. Before connection of the connectors, if all receiving units receive light, normality of the pins is detected. Instead of providing the light receiving units at the female connector side, providing a reflecting part at the female connector side and providing a light receiving unit at the male connector side is possible.
