Abstract
Systems and methods for configuring peripherals in response to accidents are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: obtain a notification of a shock event of the IHS; communicate information regarding the shock event to peripheral firmware of one or more peripherals of the IHS. The peripheral firmware may receive the information regarding the shock event of the IHS from the IHS; and responsive to the information, perform a corrective action. In some embodiments, the corrective action includes a configuration update and a communication to the IHS of the configuration update, a self-test scan for health of the peripheral, shutting off port or data access to the peripheral, and/or collection of telemetry of the peripheral.
