A floating device location identification system includes a chassis defining floating device housings and including respective chassis location identification features adjacent each floating device housing that identify the relative location of that floating device housing. A floating device may be positioned in a first floating device housing and adjacent a first chassis location identification feature. The first floating device includes floating device cabling connector(s) that are connected via a cabling subsystem to a device location identification subsystem, and chassis engagement elements that are coupled to the floating device cabling connector(s) and that engage the first chassis location identification feature. The floating device transmits floating device location identifying information to the device location identification subsystem that is based on the engagement of the chassis engagement elements and the first chassis location identification feature, and that identifies a relative location of the first floating device housing in the chassis.
