Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of ports, a magnetic field sensor, a magnetic port cover, and a processor. A subset of ports of the plurality of ports are deactivated and covered with the magnetic port cover. The magnetic field sensor is coupled to each one of the plurality of ports. The processor is communicatively coupled to the magnetic field sensor. The processor is to detect removal of the magnetic port cover from a deactivated port of the subset of ports that are deactivated via a signal from the magnetic field sensor of the deactivated port and generate notification in response to the magnetic port cover being removed to notify a user to replace the magnetic port cover on the deactivated port.
