Abstract
Technologies are provided for automated identification of system devices to be disabled in a computing system and the disablement of the system devices during bootup of the computing system. In some embodiments, the computing system can execute a firmware configured to perform a bootup process of the computing system. The computing system includes multiple system devices. The firmware can generate program code for identifying a system device for disablement. The firmware can send the program code to a controller device curing the bootup process, where execution of the program code by the controller device generates data identifying one or several specific system devices to be disabled in the computing system. The firmware can then access such data from the controller device. Using the data, the firmware can determine that a specific system device to be disabled. The firmware can then disable that particular system device on a next bootup process.
