Techniques for identifying UPS-sub-system interconnections using manual data, UPS identification signals, and variations in UPS voltage variations that produce error signals. Once interconnections have been identified an operating system can check the UPS/sub-system topology to isolate potential errors and/or to enable controlled shut-down of sub-systems in case of potential power failure.

A computer configuration utility automatically alters system configuration parameters to sample multiple different configurations. At least one workrate metric is measured at each sampled configuration. The workrate measurements for the multiple different configurations are compared to determine the effect of different configurations with respect to at least one optimization criterion. System configuration is automatically adjusted to the optimum configuration. Preferably, the workrate metric is (non-idle) instructions executed per unit of time.

A system and method for automatically determining a physical location of one or more units in a rack, including: using one or more physical cables between rack units; cascading a first signal through the one or more units located in the rack, the first signal being encoded with a unit number and a physical parameter; and creating a rack ID by utilizing hardware parameters, the hardware parameters being determined by: detecting a second signal that exists from a bottom unit, the bottom unit located at the bottom of the rack; and using a third signal to send data between the one or more units in the rack by manipulating void spaces within the rack, the third signal being either cabled or an optical signal.

A system and method are directed towards a pseudo multi-master operation on a serial bus. The pseudo multi-master operation allows multiple devices without standard multi-master functionality to operate on the serial bus as masters. In a disclosed example, the serial bus is an Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus, which is isolated when an adapter card requires access to the I2C bus, such as to update vital product data (VPD) to a memory device, and to cache the updated VPD to a chassis management module.

Methods and apparatuses that automatically determine the capabilities of UPS devices. Systems automatically determine whether a UPS device is capable of protecting system resources by comparing the UPS capabilities against system requirements. Such systems can use that determination to approximate how long a UPS device can reliably supply power. Systems having multiple UPS devices can be implemented such that the connections of the UPS devices to system resources are automatically determined, the load on each UPS device can be found, the capabilities of the UPS devices can be obtained, a comparison between UPS load and UPS capabilities can made, and a warning of problems can be sent. Using UPS capability and load information a system can provide for a controlled shutdown of system resources.
