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

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.
