INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR MANAGING, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREIN MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, AND METHOD FOR SPECIFYING INSTALLING POSITION OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

An information processing apparatus includes an applier that applies an alternating voltage to a lead provided for a frame of a rack that stores one or more electronic devices along a direction of arrangement of the electronic devices, the lead being in contact with a fixing part when the electronic devices are installed; a measure that measures an alternating wave of the alternating voltage flowing through the lead; and a specifier that specifies an installing position of an electronic device by referring to reference waveform information with a waveform of the measure alternating wave, the reference waveform information associating an installing state of the electronic device in the rack with a waveform pattern of the alternating wave measured under the installing state. This configuration reduces steps needed for managing a token, an archive, a token password and enhances the security level of the terminal device.
