    Abstract: An information handling system includes first and second power supplies, a chassis BMC, and a sled. The power supplies each assert a power good indication when the power supply is providing power on a power rail. The chassis BMC receives the power good indications and asserts a loss of redundancy indication when one of the power good indications is deasserted. The sled includes a sled BMC and a host processing system. The sled receives the loss of redundancy indication and in response, asserts a processor over temperature indication to the host processing system. When both power good indications are asserted, the chassis BMC directs the sled BMC to operate the host processing system in accordance with a normal operation sled current limit. When one of the power good indications is deasserted, the chassis BMC directs the sled BMC to operate the host processing system in accordance with a reduced power operation sled current limit. The reduced power operation sled current limit is a lower limit than the normal operation sled current limit.

    Abstract: A system for performing computing operations in a data center includes one or more sets of computer systems, one or more primary power systems, and a reserve power system. The primary power systems include a downstream portion that supplies power to at least one of the sets of computer systems. The reserve power system includes switches that switch between supplying a primary power feed and a reserve power feed from the reserve power system through part of the primary power system. An input resiliency switch can switch between supplying primary power or reserve power to support power supplied to the sets of computer systems through the primary power system based upon a primary power feed fault. A power distribution switch can switch between supplying primary power and reserve power to part of the downstream portion of the primary power system to bypass an upstream portion of the primary power system.
