1. A method for automated configuration of replaceable hardware components of a chassis comprising a plurality of IHSs (Information Handling Systems) configured to support a first computing solution, the method comprising:
initializing, by each of the plurality of IHSs, a process of an operating system of each respective IHS for monitoring settings selected for use by hardware components of the respective IHS in order to adapt the operations of the respective hardware components for a first computing task;
reporting, by the process of the operating system of each respective IHS, changes to the hardware component settings for hardware components of the respective IHS that adapt the operations of the respective hardware components for the first computing task, wherein the changes to the hardware component settings are reported to a chassis management controller that is installed in the chassis and that manages resources of the chassis that are shared by the plurality of IHSs;
detecting a coupling of a replaceable hardware component to the chassis;
selecting, by the chassis management controller, hardware component settings for adapting the operations of the replaceable hardware component that has been detected as coupled to the chassis for the first computing task; and
configuring the replaceable hardware component that has been detected as coupled to the chassis using the parameters selected by the chassis management controller for adapting the operation of the replaceable hardware component for the first computing task.
