  • Publication number: 20130227311
    Abstract: A power supply device for a computer system with a plurality of servers includes a control unit, a main board, and a connection unit. The control unit includes a plurality of switches. The main board includes a power supply and a strobe circuit. When any one or more of the switches is turned on, each turned-on switch generates a control signal. The control signal causes the power supply to be turned on, and simultaneously causes the strobe circuit to generate a selection signal corresponding to the turned-on switch. The connection unit electrically connects the power supply to a server corresponding to the turned-on switch in response to reception of the selection signal from the strobe circuit by the connection unit.
