<p>A power management system receives information about the amount of manageable power available and can reallocate the manageable power. Devices can be operated in a managed power mode where depending on power distribution decisions made by the power management system the device can be powered at full power, receive no power, or receive a base amount of power to enable some functionality. The flexibility afforded by operating devices in managed power mode means that smaller power supplies can be used to service the same number of devices. In one embodiment, the power management controller can reallocate manageable power among various loads based on the configuration of the loads. Manageable power that is not allocated for priority loads can be used to power the managed loads.</p> |
