A method and apparatus for providing for serially transmitting partitioning information between system partitions, and between system partitions and the corresponding data processing resources. Serial transmission may allow the partitioning information to be transmitted using a single I/O ASIC pin, and a single PC board trace. In addition to reducing the required number of I/O ASIC pins and PC board traces, the present invention may increase the overall reliability of the partitioning mechanism.
