    Abstract: A detection apparatus concurrently connected to N optical module cages by using N paths. The apparatus accesses a conflict register, acquires an occupancy status of the N paths according to a value of the conflict register, then performs a concurrent probe on M optical module cages connected to M paths that are in the N paths and whose occupancy status are not occupied by system software, to obtain a probe result, where the probe result includes availability information of optical modules of the M optical module cages and a type of the optical modules, and finally, writes the probe result into an availability register, so that the system software can acquire the probe result from the availability register. Therefore, whether an optical module is available in an optical module cage can be monitored in real time and fast insertion and removal operations on the optical module can be sensed.
