INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM FORCED ACTION COMMUNICATED OVER AN OPTICAL INTERFACE

摘要

A forced power down signal issues from an I/O device to an information handling system through an optical interconnect if the information handling system fails to power down in response to a normal power down message. A 100% duty cycle signal issues from an optical interface at the I/O device and is detected by an optical interface of the information handling system, which issues a command to force a power down of the information handling system in response to the forced power down signal.
