A signal suitable for signaling a computer system to reduce power consumption is generated from a plurality of power supplies. The signal is asserted when at least one of the power supplies of the plurality of power supplies signals impairment, and at least one of the power supplies of the plurality of power supplies signals that the power supply is supplying current above a threshold level.
