An embodiment of the invention provides an apparatus for computation of processor clock frequency ratios in a multi-processor system. The setting process entails an initial pressurization to anchor the tool and compress its sealing element. If the required instrument driver for the selected instrument is missing from the application development environment, the illustrative embodiment of the present invention retrieves the instrument driver from a remote location and installs the instrument driver in the application development environment without the involvement of the user. The handoff process occurs after the first MH is handed off from the source AP. A second resource request for the second data packet is generated before the specified time period is due to expire when the first data packet is forwarded. The card is for actuating the switching assembly when the user inserts the card into the slot of the housing.
