Abstract: A test method for verifying installation validity of a peripheral component interconnected (PCI) devices on an electronic device having a test module, comprises the steps of: (a) storing information of onboard devices and slots on motherboards of different electronic devices and information of PCI devices added in the slots of the motherboards in a first data storing device; (b) storing a bill of material (BOM) showing all possible configurations of the different computers in a second data storing device; (c) generating a configuration file according to the BOM and information of the motherboards and PCI devices; (d) the test module in the computer checking actual hardware configuration of the computer and comparing the actual configuration with the corresponding information recorded in the configuration file; (e) outputting a test result.

Abstract: A system for verifying the validity of assembled PCI devices of a computer includes: a device database (2) for storing data of PCI devices being inserted in PCI slots of a computer; a slot database (3) for storing PCI slot data of the computer; a data checking module (1) for obtaining the computer's PCI device data and PCI slot data from the device database and the slot database, integrating the PCI device data and PCI slot data, generating configuration data of a PCI device, and determining whether the PCI device is assembled with validity. A method for verifying the validity of assembled PCI devices of a computer is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for verifying the coupled locations of computer devices is provided. The method includes the steps of: (a) mapping a logical address of each device interface on a standard motherboard to a physical address of the device interface on the standard motherboard; (b) storing all mapping relationships in a database; (c) obtaining a list of devices linked to the standard motherboard of a computer to be verified from a BOM; (d) determining a logical address of each device according to product assembly standards; (e) obtaining a standard physical address of each device according to its logical address and a mapping relationship in the database; (f) writing the standard physical address of each device into a device specification file; and (g) checking the validity of installation locations of devices of the computer to be verified based on the device specification file.
