Claim 15:
16. A method implemented by a rack manager on a server rack, the method comprising:
monitoring a first power feed and a second power feed, the first power feed and the second power feed providing power to a plurality of servers on the server rack, wherein at least one server of the plurality of servers is powered by both the first power feed and the second power feed, and wherein a power consumption of the plurality of servers exceeds at least one of a maximum supplied power of the first power feed and a maximum supplied power of the second power feed;
detecting that the first power feed has lost power and is not providing power to the plurality of servers on the server rack;
determining that a combined power consumption of the plurality of servers exceeds an operating threshold associated with operation of the server rack when powered by a single power feed; and
causing, based on the first power feed not providing power to the plurality of servers and determining that the combined power consumption exceeds the operating threshold, the plurality of servers to reduce power consumption before completion of a power trip cycle.
