    Abstract: Various examples of the present technology provide systems and methods for monitoring an AC power to a computing system, generating a power failure signal when the AC power is determined abnormal, and cause one or more components of the computing system to be switched to a low power mode or shut down to reduce power consumption of the computing system. In particular, the various embodiments of the present technology provide a method to extend hold time of a power supply unit (PSU), thus extend power-on time of a server system during an input power interruption.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for providing a basic power to a system in an event that a standby power of power supply units (PSUs) of the system fails. The system comprises a plurality of active components, one or more PSUs, and a power switch. The power switch is connected to a standby power output and a main power output of the PSUs. The power switch can receive status information of the PSUs and determine whether the main power of the PSUs is within a predetermined range. In an event that the standby power of the PSUs fails and the main power of the PSUs is within the predetermined range, the power switch can switch an input power from the standby power to the main power of the PSUs and output a basic power for system use.

    Abstract: A server system includes an enclosure, a first section, a motherboard section, a fan section, and a midplane board. The first section is disposed at a first end of the enclosure and includes at least one heat generating component. The motherboard section is disposed at a second end of the enclosure and includes at least one motherboard. The fan section is disposed between the front section and the motherboard section and includes at least one fan for directing air in from the first end and out of the second end. The midplane board is vertically interposed between the fan section and the motherboard section, and is configured to electrically and communicatively couple the at least one motherboard to one or more components in the first section, and includes one or more airflow cutouts. The one or more airflow cutouts of the midplane board make up at least thirty percent of a cross-sectional surface area of the midplane board.

    Abstract: A riser card is disclosed. The riser card includes a circuit board that has two sides, two longitudinal edges extending along a length of the board, and two orthogonal edges extending along a width of the board. The card also includes a first bus connector along one of the longitudinal edges; a second bus connector on one side of the board extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal edges; and a third bus connector on the other side of the board extending substantially parallel to the orthogonal edges. The second bus connector is configured to connect an add-on unit to the card so that the add-on unit extends substantially perpendicular from the board. The third bus connector is configured to connect an add-on unit to the card so that the add-on unit extends substantially parallel to the board and the first edges.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for smart power clamping of a redundant power supply. A system configured according to this disclosure can measure, at a baseboard management controller, a system power consumption which indicates total power being delivered by a first power supply unit and a second power supply unit. The system can determine that the system power consumption exceeds a system power consumption capacity and, in response to the determination, communicate a power clamping signal to a processor, resulting in a reduced system power consumption. The system can further identify that the reduced system power consumption exceeds the system power consumption capacity and initiate a hardware throttling of at least one of the first power supply unit and the second power supply unit.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a rack management controller can dynamically manage power supply units in a server rack system. For example, the rack management controller can determine how many power supply units should be powered on based on the power requirements of the server rack system. The management controller can configure a power management controller to turn on the determined number of power supply units. The rack management controller can receive status signals from the power supply units in the server rack. The rack management controller can detect when a power supply unit fails based on the status signals. The rack management controller can dynamically reconfigure the power management controller to replace the failed power supply unit by turning on a reserved power supply unit.
