| 摘要 |
The present disclosure relates to a method for managing an application of power from first and second power sources to a plurality of components mounted within an equipment rack. The method involves determining the number of components located within the equipment rack, and also determining a maximum power available from each of the first and second power sources. For each one of the components, first and second power budgets are determined. The first power budget represents an amount of power available to each one of the components when both of the first and second power sources are available for use, and the second power budget represents a power available to each when only the second power source is available for use. The method enables using a portion of power available from each of the first and second power sources to power the plurality of components, and using a rack management system to receive the first and second power budgets, and to apply the second power budget when a power loss condition causes the first power source to become unavailable. |
