Abstract
A method of power supply unit rotating in an information handling system (IHS) may include a control unit dividing a power loading of an IHS into N sections, where N corresponds to a number of power supply units coupled to the IHS. The control unit may configure a first power supply unit to an active state and configure one or more remaining power supply units to a suspended state during a first time period. The control unit may configure the first power supply unit to the suspended state and configure a second power supply unit to the active state in response to a second time period being reached. The control unit may rotate the active state among the power supply units in response to sequential time periods being reached. In an embodiment the control unit may rotate the active state sequentially between each of the subsequent power supplies.
