INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION FOR POWER SYSTEM OUTPUT CAPABILITY

摘要

An IHS configuration system includes a plurality of IHS components including a processor system having a first maximum load current. A power system controller is coupled to the plurality of IHS components and operable to couple to a power supply. The power system controller is operable to retrieve a power output limit of the power system and determine a first system power budget for the plurality of IHS components using the first maximum load current of the processor system. The power system controller then determines whether the first system power budget exceeds the power output limit and, in response to the first system power budget exceeding the power output limit, the power system controller provides a second maximum load current for the processor system to create a second system power budget that does not exceed the power output limit.

1. A power output limit-based configuration system, comprising:
a power system; a plurality of powered component systems coupled to the power system, wherein a first powered component system of the plurality of powered component systems includes a first powered component register that is configurable to limit power consumption by the first powered component system; and a power system controller coupled to the power system and the plurality of powered component systems, wherein the power system controller is configured to:
retrieve a power output limit of the power system;determine a first system power budget for the plurality of powered component systems that include the first powered component system with the first powered component register configured with a first configuration; anddetermine that the first system power budget exceeds the power output limit and, in response, configure the first powered component register of the first powered component with a second configuration that provides a second system power budget for the plurality of powered component systems that does not exceed the power output limit.
