Abstract

An information handling system may include a processor, a basic input/output system (BIOS) configured to initialize the information handling system, and a management controller coupled to the processor and configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system. The BIOS may be configured to: subsequent to initialization of an operating system of the information handling system, receive a notification that an information handling resource has been hot-inserted into the information handling system; and delay processing of the information handling resource by the operating system until the management controller has performed a platform-specific configuration change to the information handling resource.
