ABSTRACT:
A method and implementing system are provided for determining and retaining an identification number relevant to an electronic system component and/or component configuration. In an exemplary embodiment, existing pull-up resistors within a computer system are connected in a manner to enable associated circuitry to determine a pre-assigned identification number for the computer system. The identification number is stored in an identification number register and accessible for providing the identification number in response to a requests from other devices within the system.
