Abstract
A controller may be communicatively coupled to a power supply and may be configured to receive a status signal indicative of whether a level of power delivered by the power supply exceeds a threshold power level. The controller may also be configured to, in response to the status signal indicating the level of power delivered by the power supply exceeds the threshold power level, cause a module power limit of at least one of a plurality of modules disposed in a chassis to decrease, wherein the module power limit of a module defines a maximum amount of power the module may consume from the power supply. The controller may also be configured to, in response to the status signal indicating the level of power delivered by the power supply does not exceed the threshold power level, cause the module power limit to increase.
