Apparatus is provided having a chassis with a plurality of slots. Multiple electrical field replaceable units (FRUs) or modules are inserted into respective slots. Each inserted module has at least one module electrical connector in engagement with a mating chassis electrical connector. In addition, each inserted module has a module restraint in engagement with a mating chassis restraint. In combination, these restraints act to retain the module in the slot. The apparatus further includes a management system that configures and deconfigures modules inserted into the slots. The management system sets a control signal for each module, which is fed to the relevant module, indicative of whether the module may be removed from its respective slot. This control signal is passed through the module, and made externally accessible when the module is inserted into its respective slot.
