Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: at a power manager communicatively connected to a power distribution system including a plurality of computing devices and a plurality of power distribution devices operatively connected to the plurality of computing devices: operatively connecting each power distribution device of the plurality of power distribution devices to a phase of power in the power distribution system, each computing device of the plurality of computing devices operatively connected to a phase of the power via one of the plurality of power distribution devices; receiving vital product data associated with each of the plurality of computing devices; predicting, based on the vital product data, occurrences of unbalanced power amongst phases of power in the power distribution system upon distribution of power to the plurality of computing devices; and prior to distributing maximum power in the power distribution system, operatively switching at least one power distribution device of the plurality of power distribution devices to a different phase of power via a switch in the power distribution system based on the predicted occurrences such that power distribution amongst the phases of power in the power distribution system is substantially balanced.
