    摘要: A method for managing the power consumption of an information handling system including a multi-lane serial link having a lane setting that identifies the number of active lanes in the multi-lane serial link. The method may include determining a number of lanes required for the multi-lane serial link based on one or more I/O devices connected to the information handling system, triggering a reduction of the lane setting of the multi-lane serial link if the lane setting of the multi-lane serial link is greater than the determined number of lanes required, and automatically reducing power to the multi-lane serial link in response to the reduction of the lane setting.

    摘要: A blade server module in an information handling system may have secure environment and authorized removal modes in non-volatile memory. If the secure environment mode is set in the blade server module, then the authorized removal mode is read to determine whether it also is set. If both of these modes are set then authentication keys of the inserted blade server module and blade server chassis are verified as being properly associated. If the authorized removal mode is not set when the blade server module is inserted into a server chassis or authentication keys are not verified as being properly associated then the blade server module power-up sequence is disabled. The authentication keys may be administrator/user defined. The secure environment and authorized removal modes may be set and cleared by the administrator/user.

    摘要: Determining whether there exists an input-output (I/O) fabric conflict (mismatch) between a blade I/O fabric daughter card of a blade compute module and an I/O interface module of a blade compute module system, and if a conflicts does exit then taking action to correct this I/O fabric mismatch. An I/O fabric router may be coupled between the blade I/O fabric daughter cards and the system I/O interface modules. If a matching I/O interface fabric exists then the I/O fabric router will couple the blade I/O fabric daughter card to the matching I/O interface fabric. If there is no matching I/O interface fabric then the blade I/O fabric daughter card may be decoupled from the blade compute module system so that the associated blade compute module may otherwise function, and an alert may be sent regarding the I/O fabric conflict (absence of an I/O fabric match) for the I/O fabric daughter card of the blade compute module.

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for power usage level management of blades installed in blade servers. When a new blade added is to a blade server, possible power usage levels for the new blade are assessed to determine possible effects on the total power usage level of the chassis. By assessing the different power usage levels, the chassis controller can then make intelligent decisions as to the power usage levels at which new blades will be allowed to operate while still keeping within chassis power supply capabilities. Blade power usage levels can be based upon a variety of considerations, including processor performance modes and blade configuration options.
