Patent ID: 8269373

Claim:
A device, comprising: a plurality of direct current to direct current (DC/DC) converters; and a first device to: receive a signal from a second device on a removable module when the removable module is coupled to the device, the signal being based on a component on the removable module, the signal including start-up timing information and power-down timing information, produce, based on the received signal from the second device, an instruction related to one or more voltages associated with the removable module, the instruction to cause a first DC/DC converter and a second DC/DC converter, of the plurality of DC/DC converters, to power up in a particular sequence, based on the start-up timing information, and generate the one or more voltages, the particular sequence being based on the received signal from the second device, the first DC/DC converter and the second DC/DC converter being powered up at different times based on the instruction, the first DC/DC converter and the second DC/DC converter to power down based on the power-down timing information, and cause the one or more voltages, generated by the first DC/DC converter and the second DC/DC converter, to be provided to the removable module.
