System and method for circuit card insertion tracking

摘要

Embodiments of systems and methods for circuit card insertion tracking are described. In an embodiment, a method may include detecting insertion of a pluggable circuit card into a socket connector, and incrementing a count of insertions in an insertion counter.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
detecting insertion of a pluggable circuit card into a socket connector using a mechanical detection device configured to rotate about an axis, wherein the mechanical detection device has an outside edge with a radius that varies in length, wherein the mechanical detection device is configured to rotate around the axis in response to the pluggable insertion card being inserted into the socket connector, and wherein the mechanical detection device includes a detector configured to detect the insertion by measuring a change in the radius of the outside edge; and incrementing a count of insertions in an insertion counter.
