mating plural module panels with electrical interfaces of a rack,
conductively coupling a controller with the rack;
controlling, by the controller, operation of internal electrical components of the module panels;
mating connectors of the module panels with the electrical interfaces of the rack; and
identifying, by the controller, the internal electrical components of each of the module panels based on a strap mode of the connectors of the module panels.
