Abstract
Managing power consumption in a computing system that includes a plurality of integrated technology elements (‘ITEs’) that receive power from a plurality of common form factor power supplies, including: determining the maximum amount of power that can be delivered by each of the common form factor power supplies; determining whether the maximum amount of power that can be delivered by a first common form factor power supply is different than the maximum amount of power that can be delivered by a second common form factor power supply; and responsive to determining that the maximum amount of power that can be delivered by the first common form factor power supply is different than the maximum amount of power that can be delivered by the second common form factor power supply, throttling one or more of the ITEs.
