Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for monitoring total power consumption of a component coupled to a riser card includes: capturing, by a power cable sensor, a first signal associated with a power cable; receiving, by a power monitor, the first signal from the power cable sensor via a first bus; determining, by the power monitor, a first power consumption level indicating a first voltage supplied to the component via the power cable; capturing, by a card slot sensor, a second signal associated with a card slot; receiving, by the power monitor, the second signal from the card slot sensor via a second bus; determining, by the power monitor, a second power consumption level indicating a second voltage supplied to the component via the card slot; and determining, by the power monitor, a total power consumption level associated with the component based on the first and the second power consumption levels.
