Pluggable LED bezel system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• an Information Handling System (IHS) chassis;
• a communication system in the IHS chassis that includes a plurality of ports that are accessible on a surface of the IHS chassis;
• a processing system in the IHS chassis that is coupled to the communication system;
• a memory system in the IHS chassis that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a Light Emitting Device (LED) control engine;
• a bezel device chassis that is connected to the IHS chassis and that defines a plurality of port apertures that are each located immediately adjacent a respective one of the plurality of ports, wherein the bezel device chassis is configured to be disconnected from the IHS chassis;
• a plurality of LEDs that are included on the bezel device chassis;
• and
• at least one bezel device connector that extends from the bezel device chassis, that is coupled to the processing system, and that is configured to transmit LED control information received from the LED control engine to cause at least one of the plurality of LEDs to illuminate, wherein the at least one bezel device connector is configured to be decoupled from the processing system when the bezel device chassis is disconnected from the IHS chassis.

A method for providing device information using a pluggable Light Emitting Device (LED) bezel device, comprising:

• connecting, by a bezel device chassis that defines a plurality of port apertures, to a computing device such that each of the plurality of port apertures is located immediately adjacent a respective port included on the computing device;
• coupling, by at least one bezel device connector that extends from the bezel device chassis in response to the bezel device chassis being connected to the computing device, to an LED control system in the computing device;
• transmitting, by the at least one bezel device connector, LED control information received from the LED control system;
• and
• illuminating, by at least one of a plurality of Light Emitting Devices (LEDs) that are included on the bezel device chassis, based on the LED control information transmitted by the at least one bezel device connector.
