ENHANCED CAPACITY MANAGEMENT OF POWER SUPPLIES IN RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17719546 Titled 'ENHANCED CAPACITY MANAGEMENT OF POWER SUPPLIES IN RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes an information handling system that includes a power supply and a baseboard management controller. The power supply is responsible for determining the maximum power it can output, based on certain environmental conditions. If the environmental condition changes, the power supply adjusts the maximum output power accordingly and stores it in a register. The baseboard management controller ensures that the power demanded by the system's load is within the initially determined maximum output power level. It reads the register and adjusts the power demanded by the load to be within the updated maximum output power level if necessary.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information handling system includes a power supply and a baseboard management controller. The power supply determines a first maximum output power level, determines that an environmental condition of the power supply has changed, determines a second maximum output power level different from the first maximum output power level based upon the changed environmental condition, and stores the second maximum output power level to a first register of the power supply. The baseboard management controller sets a power level demanded by a load of the information handling system to be within the first maximum output power level, reads the first register, and sets the power level demanded by the load to be within the second maximum output power level in response to reading the register.
