Abstract:
1. An information handling system comprising: plural processing components operable to cooperate to process information; a power supply operable to provide power to the plural processing components; a protection circuit associated with the power supply and operable to shutdown the power supply upon detection of either a predetermined thermal constraint or a predetermined output constraint at the power supply; a protection constraint adaptive module interfaced with the protection circuit and operable to dynamically adjust the predetermined thermal constraint and predetermined output constraint based upon thermal and output measurements associated with the protection circuit; and a management processor interfaced with the processing components and operable to adjust power consumption of the processing components, the management processor further operable to receive the dynamically adjusted output constraint from the protection constraint adaptive module and to adjust power consumption to remain below the dynamically adjusted output constraint; wherein the processing components comprise plural processing modules disposed in a chassis and the management processor comprises a chassis management controller that manages power of the chassis.
