ABSTRACT:
The specification may disclose a system and related method for control of a server system that may include determining the amount of power delivered in a system utilizing redundant power supplies based on a measurement of the voltage of load share signals between those power supplies, and then allowing additional servers installed in the server system to power-on only if the amount of power required for the combined servers does not exceed the maximum available power or exceed the power required for a certain type of redundant power supply operation.
