System and method for managing devices in an information handling system
First Claim
1. An information handling system comprising:
- a memory having;
machine-executable code stored therein;
layout information for the information handling system stored therein; and
location information for a connector of the information handling system stored therein;
a display; and
a processor operable to execute the machine-executable code to;
read the layout information and the location information from the memory;
render a graphical representation of the information handling system that corresponds to a first physical appearance of the information handling system based on the layout information, wherein the graphical representation includes a connector representation that corresponds to a second physical appearance of the connector, and wherein the location of the connector representation on the graphical representation is based on the location information; and
display the graphical representation on the display.

Abstract
An information handling system stores code, layout information, and location information in a memory. A processor executes the code to read the information, render a representation of the information handling system from the layout information, and display the representation on a display. The representation includes a connector that is located based on the location information. A method includes displaying a representation of an information handling system and a device. The representation includes depictions of the information handling system and the device. The method also includes receiving an input selecting the depiction of the device, and disabling the device in response to receiving the input. A memory includes code for carrying out the method.
