Abstract
A chassis may include a plurality of slots each configured to receive a module having one or more information handling resources, wherein each slot is configured to electrically and communicatively couple the module to other components of the chassis. The chassis may also include a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of slots. The controller may be configured to receive an electrical signal indicative of a user action associated with the chassis. The controller may also be configured to, responsive to the electrical signal: cause a first visual indicator associated with a first module received in the chassis to indicate a selection; for a period of time following receipt of the electrical signal, cause at least one second visual indicator of modules received in the chassis to mute; and at the conclusion of the period of time, cause the at least one second visual indicator to unmute.
