System and method for reducing inrush current in a blade server

摘要

A system and method for reducing inrush current in an information handling system includes charging a pre-charge circuit with an elongated pin. The information handling system includes a midplane with at least one power source connector and multiple blade connectors able to connect to blade servers. Each blade connector has an elongated pin for supplying power to a blade server. Each blade server has a power connector for receiving the elongated pin and an integrated pre-charge circuit including a resistor and capacitor.
