    Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an expansion slot, a peripheral device connected to the expansion slot, and a processor communicatively coupled to the expansion slot. The processor is to determine that a compatibility of the peripheral device with active state power management (ASPM) is unknown, provide a notification to indicate that the compatibility of the peripheral device with ASPM is unknown, wherein the notification provides a selection between disabling ASPM for the peripheral device or enabling ASPM for the peripheral device, and configure a basic input/output system (BIOS) setting in accordance with the selection to control the ASPM for the peripheral device.

    Abstract: In example implementations, a computing device is provided. The computing device includes an expansion interface that includes a plurality of slots. A first add-in card is connected to a first slot of the plurality of slots. A second add-in card is connected to a second slot of the plurality of slots. The computing device includes a processor communicatively coupled to the expansion interface. The processor is to detect that the first add-in card is compatible with a power savings control signal and that the second add-in card is not compatible with the power savings control signal, disable the power savings control signal to the second slot, and transmit the power savings control signal to the first slot when the first add-in card goes into a power savings mode.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed to a computing device for detecting and preventing melting of a component of the computing device. In some examples, the computing device includes a cable that connects a power supply unit and an add-on card, and a thermal protection controller. Based on a sensor signal from a temperature sensor of the cable, the thermal protection controller determines that a temperature associated with the cable exceeds a threshold temperature. Responsive to determining that the temperature associated with the cable exceeds the threshold temperature, the thermal protection controller causes the power supply unit to cease supplying power to the add-on card by transmitting an overtemperature signal through the cable.
