Abstract: A method of assembling and configuring multiple mezzanine cards on a carrier card is disclosed. The method includes the establishing an I/O profile that represents the I/O configuration of a mezzanine card. The I/O of the mezzanine card is not enabled unless the I/O profile matches a known value stored on the carrier card. In this way, the electronic circuitry is protected if an incorrect mezzanine card is connected to the carrier card.
