Abstract

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include at least one information handling resource and a controller. The controller may be configured to receive signals from a plurality of power supply units, each signal indicative of a temperature associated with a respective power supply of the plurality of power supply units. The controller may also be configured to determine, for each of the plurality of power supply units, a respective derating limit based on the respective signal indicative of the temperature for such power supply unit. The controller may be further configured to communicate messages to each of the plurality of power supply units, each message indicative of the respective derating limit determined with respect to such power supply unit.
