Abstract

A system may include a motherboard, a chipset coupled to the motherboard, a memory module mount coupled to the chipset, a power transistor electrically coupled to the memory module mount, a voltage regulator to provide power to the power transistor, and an I/O expander coupled to the motherboard. The I/O expander is to receive instructions from the chipset to selectively control the power transistor to provide the power to the memory module mount.
