Abstract

Example implementations relate to backup power supply support. For example, a backup power supply support system can include a shared backup power supply controlled by a backup power control module and a support switch coupled to the shared backup power supply. The support switch enables a transition from a primary power supply to the shared backup power supply and the support switch includes system firmware. The system firmware detects a primary power supply compromise, isolates a hardware switch from the shared backup power supply, enables the hardware switch, and transitions to the shared backup power supply.
