摘要： A power supply system for an information handling system is disclosed. The power supply system includes power supply units electrically coupled via an output line. The power supply units are configured to supply an output voltage to the output line. Each power supply unit receives a feedback signal indicative of a voltage of the output line and a programmed voltage signal indicative of a supply voltage required for the output line. A standby power supply unit is configured to transition between a standby mode and an active mode based, at least in part, on the feedback signal and the programmed voltage signal. Power supply units are configured to transition to a load sharing mode where the power supply units cooperatively supply an output voltage to the output line. The transitioning is based, at least in part, on the feedback signal and the programmed voltage signal.

摘要： A method of memory controller-independent memory mirroring includes providing a mirroring association between a first memory segment and a second memory segment that is independent of a memory controller. A memory buffer receives data from the memory controller that is directed to a first memory location in the first memory segment. The memory buffer writes the data, independent of the memory controller, to both the first memory segment and the second memory segment according to the mirroring association. The memory buffer receives a plurality of read commands from the memory controller that are directed to the first memory location in the first memory segment and, in response, reads data from an alternating one of the first memory segment and the second memory segment and stores both first data from the first memory segment and second data from the second memory segment.

摘要： A dynamic power budget allocation system includes a plurality of powered subsystems. A power system controller is coupled to the plurality of powered subsystems. The power system controller is operable, for each of a plurality of time intervals, to retrieve power usage data from each of the plurality of subsystems during a current time interval. The power system controller is then operable to project power requirements for the plurality of subsystems for a subsequent time interval using the power usage data. The power system controller is then operable to determine at least one power setting for at least one of the plurality of subsystems using the power requirements, and program the at least one of the plurality of subsystems with the at least one power setting. Each powered subsystem may include a voltage regulator that provides the power usage data and is programmed with the at least one power setting.

The method may include detecting occurrence of a power down sequence and in response to detecting of the power down sequence, controlling operation of a cooling fan coupled to information handling resources based at least on a first criteria of a predetermined policy. The method may include receiving a signal from a sensor, the signal indicating a thermal property of a particular information handling resource coupled to the sensor. The method may include determining if the thermal property satisfies a second criteria of the predetermined policy, the second criteria comprising a safe temperature range for handling the particular information handling resource. If the thermal property meets the second criteria, the method may provide an alert via an indicator to a user indicating the particular information handling resource is safe for handling.
