Abstract
A plurality of power adapters configured to apply power to loads is described. The plurality of power adapters may comprise a first power adapter configured to apply power to a first load, the first power adapter having a first recess for receiving a first module that is removably attached to the first recess; a second power adapter configured to apply power to a second load, the second power adapter having a second recess for receiving a second module that is removably attached to the second recess; and a control device adapted to identify the first power adapter and the second power adapter; wherein the control device is adapted to map the first power adapter and the second power adapter based upon locations of the first power adapter and the second power adapter.
