Abstract
In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may determine that an external device is coupled to an input/output (I/O) port of an information handling system and may provide a first message to an information handling system firmware (IHSFW) that indicates information associated with the external device. The IHSFW may provide a second message to a management information exchange, and the management information exchange may start an application in response to the second message. The application may determine firmware of the external device can be updated, may receive user input that indicates updating the firmware of the external device, may retrieve new firmware associated with the external device, and may provide the new firmware to the external device. In one or more embodiments, the new firmware associated with the external device may be retrieved before the external device is coupled to the information handling system.
