Abstract
An information handling system has power supply units (PSUs), each of which includes an input over current warning (OCW) setting that provides a reference for an amount of an input current drawn by a corresponding workload. Each of the PSUs sends an interrupt to a baseboard management controller (BMC) when the amount of the input current drawn by the corresponding workload exceeds the corresponding configured input OCW setting. In response to the received interrupt, the BMC requests an adjustment to the corresponding workload.
