Abstract
An information handling system server chassis manages plural server resources disposed on sleds in chassis slots with a power supply control board that allocates power from one or more power supplies to the slots. The power supply control board interfaces with an external network and includes one or more network interface cards that provide an Ethernet interface with power distribution boards disposed on sleds in the slots. The power distribution boards manage application of power to server resources and communication by the power supply control board through the Ethernet interface to manage functions at the server resources.
