Power-on management for remote power-on signals to high density server module

摘要

A method and apparatus for managing power in a server system having clustered server modules. A remote power-on signal delivered to a particular server module is routed to a baseboard management controller (BMC) of the server module. The BMC communicates with a central power management controller (MC) of the server system to ensure that the system currently has sufficient power to power-on the server module.
