主权项

1. A first server, comprising:
a baseboard management controller (BMC); at least a first power module (PM) which at least receives at least some power from a second PM on a second server different from the first server; and a circuit which facilitates communication between the first PM and the BMC on the first server; wherein the first PM identifies an assertion, which is associated with a number, from the second PM and communicates the assertion to the circuit, wherein in response to identification of the assertion the circuit communicates data pertaining to the assertion to the BMC, and wherein the BMC in response to receipt, of the data alters power management of the first server from a first power state to a second power state different from the first power state.
