A method and system for managing power in a computer system is disclosed. The
computer
system includes a host. The method and system include providing a Universal Serial
Bus (USB) hub, at least one USB connector and attach/removal detection logic. The
at least one USB connector is coupled with the USB hub. The attach/removal detection
logic is coupled with the USB hub. The attach/removal detection logic determines
whether a USB device is connected to the at least one USB connector, logically
decouples the USB hub from the host if the USB device is not connected to the at
least one USB connector and logically couples the USB hub to the host if the USB
device is connected to the at least one USB connector.
