Patent ID: 8694693

Claim:
A system comprising: a chassis constructed to receive a plurality of modular information handling systems; a plurality of information handling resources housed in the chassis, each of the plurality of information handling resources available for selective and independent association with one of the modular information handling systems; a chassis management controller to: receive a user indication of an association between a first modular information handling system selected from the plurality of modular information handling systems and a first information handling resource selected from the plurality of information handling resources; and generate an output signal indicative of the user indication; and selection logic to: receive the output signal from the chassis management controller; based on the user indication, output control signals to a switching element housed in the chassis, wherein the switching element couples the first modular information handling system to the first information handling resource, wherein the plurality of information handling resources include: an input/output port of an input/output hub that expands a single input/output port into a plurality of input/output ports.
