Abstract

Systems and methods for power management in an information handling system are disclosed. A method may include determining a power requirement of resources configured to receive power from a plurality of power supply units including one or more online power supply units, one or more redundant power supply units, and one or more standby power supply units. The method may also include determining a power capacity of the one or more online power supply units. The method may additionally include determining if the power capacity of the one or more online power supply units exceeds the power requirement of the resources. The method may further include transitioning at least one of the power supply units based on such determining steps.
