Abstract: Described are an information handling system, peripheral devices, and methods to connect the information handling or host to the peripheral devices. Physical connections connect the host with the one or more peripheral devices and the peripheral devices with one another. Electrical and communication connections connect the host with the one or more peripheral devices and the peripheral devices with one another. Power and power management are provided by the host through the electrical connection. An input from the host to the peripheral devices is used to establish communication flow between the host and the peripheral devices.

Abstract: A computing system includes a system board having a system controller device with an interrupt input. A system expansion bus connector is located on the system board and includes power pin(s) and an interrupt signal pin connected to the interrupt input. A peripheral device expansion card system is coupled to the computing system through system expansion bus connector and includes a system power reporting device coupled to the power pin(s) to receive power from the computing system via the power pin(s), and a card controller device coupled to the system power reporting device and to the interrupt signal pin. The card controller device determines, using the system power reporting device, a power state of the computing system. The card controller device also sends, to the system controller device through the interrupt signal pin, an interrupt signal that the system controller device interprets as a hot plug event.
