ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for monitoring and controlling electrical current delivered to a computer subsystem are provided. One embodiment provides a method for detecting a short circuit in a computer subsystem, comprising: obtaining a measured current which is supplied to the computer subsystem during one or more time periods; determining an expected current utilized by the computer subsystem for the one or more time periods; and determining whether a short circuit condition exists based on a comparison between the measured current and the expected current. The method may further comprise terminating electrical power supplied to the computer subsystem.
