    摘要: A bus bar distributes power to a plurality of electronic components supported on a printed circuit board. One embodiment of the bus bar comprises a plurality of compressible contact pads made from an electronically conductive polymer, spaced along the bus bar for contacting conductive contacts that are coupled to a power domain or individual electronic component. The pads may be secured to the bus bar and the conductive traces using an electronically conductive epoxy adhesive. Rivets may then be used to secure the bus bar to the printed circuit board and compress the pads, which conform to the printed circuit board to make a reliable electrical connection with the conductive traces. The bus bar further comprises a plurality of current sense points disposed adjacent to the pads for measuring the amount of current provided to each power domain.

    摘要: Managing power modes of a computing system that includes a power supply and computing components, the power supply configured to supply power, through power supply channels, to the computing components, wherein power modes are managed by: operating the computing system in a performance power mode, including allowing each power channel to consume power greater than a predefined maximum power consumption threshold; receiving a signal representing a user's access to the computing components; and operating the computing system in a safety mode, insuring that each of the power supply channels does not consume power greater than the predefined maximum power consumption threshold, including: throttling power consumption of one or more of the computing components; monitoring power consumption of each power supply channel; and shutting down the computing system when at least one power supply channel consumes power greater than the predefined maximum power consumption threshold.
