Abstract
A system has an optical scanner for reading a printed system configuration code on a printed configuration label. The printed system configuration code includes configuration information that describes a bus speed of a system bus of the system. A processor dynamically configures the system according to the configuration information decoded from the printed system configuration code.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an optical scanner for reading a printed system configuration code;
- a printed configuration label comprising the printed system configuration code, wherein the printed system configuration code describes a system configuration of the system, and wherein the system configuration comprises a bus speed of a system bus of the system;
- and
- a processor for dynamically configuring the system according to configuration information decoded from the printed system configuration code.
