Date adjusted power budgeting for an information handling system

摘要

An information handling system determines a system configuration including a hardware module, and determines an adjusted power budget for the hardware module. The adjusted power budget is based on a calculation including a difference between a date code read from the hardware module and a baseline date, a baseline power budget, a power reduction period and a power reduction interval. The calculation may optionally include a risk factor. In alternate embodiments, an adjusted power budget for a hardware module may be calculated by an order processing system for information handling systems, or by a planning tool for a data center which contains information handling systems.

1. An information handling system comprising:
a memory; and a processor operable to:
determine a system configuration of the information handling system, wherein the system configuration includes a first hardware module; anddetermine an adjusted power budget for the first hardware module, wherein in determining the adjusted power budget the processor is operable to:
read a date code from the first hardware module;determine a baseline power budget for the first hardware module;determine a baseline date of the baseline power budget; andcalculate the adjusted power budget for the first hardware module based on:
a time interval between the baseline date and the date code;the baseline power budget from when the information handling system was developed;a power reduction period over which a power decreases; anda power reduction factor, wherein the power reduction factor includes a percentage decrease over the power reduction period.
