Abstract

An Information Handling System (IHS) includes multiple hardware devices, and a baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in communication with the plurality of hardware devices. The BMC includes executable instructions for causing the one hardware device to be inhibited from functioning with the IHS when at least one of the hardware devices is powered on, and performing an authentication procedure with that hardware device. After that hardware device has been successfully authenticated, the instructions then enable the one hardware device to function with the IHS.
