A control may determine proper inflation of component based on the RFID tag being identified. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computing device comprising: a radio frequency identification (RFID) transceiver associated with an identification proximity, wherein the identification proximity is to enable the RFID transceiver to identify an RFID tag associated with a component installable at the computing device, wherein being identified is based on whether the RFID tag has been detected due to passing within the identification proximity, and the RFID tag is deemed as not being identified if not detected due to the RFID tag not passing within the identification proximity; and a controller to determine proper installation of the component based on the RFID tag being identified, such that detection is interpreted as proper installation regardless of type of information provided by the RFID tag and regardless of where the RFID tag is located within the identification proximity. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the controller is to determine the proper installation based on a transmission power of the RFID transceiver and a position and an orientation of the component such that the RFID tag is to be within the identification proximity and the component is to be installed at a component interface of the computing device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the controller is to adjust an operational parameter associated with the computing device in response to the proper installation being determined. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the controller is to provide information regarding whether the proper installation is determined. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the identification proximity is associated with a transmission power to identify the component when properly installed. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the identification proximity is associated with a radiation pattern to identify the component when properly installed. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the controller is to determine a type of the component based on the RFID tag being identified. ### Claim 8 A computing system comprising: a radio frequency identification (RFID) transceiver associated with an identification proximity; a component installable at the computing system and associated with an RFID tag to be identified by the RFID transceiver based on the identification proximity and whether the RFID tag has been detected due to passing within the identification proximity, wherein the RFID tag is deemed as not being identified if not detected due to the RFID tag not passing within the identification proximity; and a controller to determine proper installation of the component based on the RFID tag being identified, such that detection is interpreted as proper installation regardless of type of information provided by the RFID tag and regardless of where the RFID tag is located within the identification proximity. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The computing system of claim 8, further comprising a component interface to enable the RFID tag to enter the identification proximity if the component is properly installed, and to prevent the RFID tag from entering the identification proximity if the component is not properly installed. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The computing system of claim 8, wherein the RFID tag is to include an indication of a type of the component associated with the RFID tag. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The computing system of claim 8, wherein the RFID tag is to include an indication of an operational parameter associated with operating the computing system based on the proper installation of the component. ### Claim 12 A method, comprising: identifying an RFID tag associated with a component installable at a computing device such that the RFID tag is detected as passing within an identification proximity of a radio frequency identification (RFID) transceiver, wherein the RFID tag is deemed as not being identified if not detected due to the RFID tag not passing within the identification proximity; determining, using a controller, proper installation of the component based on the RFID tag being identified, such that detection is interpreted as proper installation regardless of type of information provided by the RFID tag and regardless of where the RFID tag is located within the identification proximity. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, further comprising adjusting operation of the computing device based on whether the proper installation is determined. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, further comprising: determining a type of the component based on identifying the RFID tag; and adjusting operation of the computing device based on the determined type of the component. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, further comprising adjusting the identification proximity of the RFID transceiver based on configuration information from the controller. ### Claim 16 (depends on 3) The computing device of claim 3, wherein the controller is to adjust a component operational parameter in response to the proper installation of that component being determined. ### Claim 17 (depends on 3) The computing device of claim 3, wherein the controller is to adjust a first component operational parameter associated with the computing device in response to the proper installation of a second component being determined. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The computing device of claim 17, wherein the first component is a fan, and the second component is an air filter. ### Claim 19 (depends on 3) The computing device of claim 3, wherein the controller is to adjust a level of security associated with the computing device in response to the proper installation of an opacity shield component being determined. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, further comprising a component interface to enable the controller to identify at least one of i) a position, and ii) an orientation of the component, based on the component interface interacting with the component to prevent the component from being identified unless the component has been positioned at the proper orientation, even for situations where the component can be installed in the computing device at multiple different orientations.
