    Abstract: A rack server system and an auto-addressing method thereof are disclosed. The rack server system comprises a plurality of backplanes and a rack management controller (RMC). The backplanes comprise a plurality of inter-integrated circuit (I2C) switches. The RMC comprises an I2C channel connected to the backplanes. When the RMC initializes the backplanes, the RMC controls a plurality of reset signals to be an enable level to reset the I2C switches, and automatically addresses a plurality of different I2C device addresses to the I2C switches. The RMC changes the reset signals to be a disable level from the enable level after the RMC addressed the I2C switches.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a system administrator can specify a maximum amount of power for a data center or a rack of servers. If the data center or rack consumes more than a threshold amount of power, the data center or rack can be put into power capping mode. Once in power capping mode, servers in the data center or rack can be power capped. The amount of power at which a server is capped can be dynamically determined based on the amount of discretionary power available to distribute among the power capped servers in the rack or data center and the amount of power that the server consumes relative to other servers in the data center or rack. Once power consumption in the data center or rack falls below a threshold level, power capping for the data center or rack can be disabled.
