Abstract

In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may query information handling systems (IHSs) for respective power consumption levels; may determine an amount of power utilized by the IHSs from the power consumption levels; may determine an integer number of power supply units (PSUs) based at least on the amount of power utilized by the IHSs; may determine that a number of operational PSUs changes; may determine that the number of operational PSUs is not at or above a threshold number; may determine if the number of operational PSUs is at or above the integer number of PSUs; if the number of operational PSUs is at or above the integer number of PSUs, may determine that the number of operational PSUs changes; and otherwise, may provide throttle down information to the IHSs.
