An input/output ("I/O") port control system is provided. The system can include an I/O controller (110) comprising a power input (115) and an operably connected I/O interface (120). A power supply (150) and switch (130) can be operably connected to the power input. A detector (140) can be operably connected to the I/O interface and to the switch. The detector can be adapted to close the switch when an electrical circuit is completed through the I/O interface.
