Abstract

A computer system including a power supply unit that generates at least one DC supply voltage (Vcc, Vaux) based on an AC supply voltage (VAC), and a system board electrically connected to the power supply unit, the system board comprising a sequencing microcontroller that selectively activates further components of the system board, the further components comprising a chipset, wherein the sequencing microcontroller monitors the state of at least one control signal of the power supply unit and/or the system board to detect a shutdown and a successful reboot of the system board and, after a shutdown of the system board is detected, signals a reboot command to at least the chipset at predetermined intervals until a successful reboot of the system board is detected.
