Abstract:
1. A method of populating modular components in an information handling system comprising: receiving an enable setting at an interactive LCD screen, wherein the enable setting is indicated by a software or hardware setting, and wherein the enable setting enables a logic circuit; controlling the interactive LCD screen by a controller; initializing a populating sequence with respect to the modular components, wherein the logic circuit initializes the populating sequence and wherein the modular components are initialized in any order; identifying a first socket corresponding to a first modular component; determining if the first socket contains the first modular component; flagging the first socket when it does not contain the first modular component; installing the first modular component in the first socket when the first socket is flagged; and reading configuration information for the first modular component from a memory if the first modular component is installed.
