  • Patent number: 8327168
    Abstract: A power throttling method and system for a memory controller in a computer system comprising a power supply module including a plurality of bulk power supplies (“BPSs”) are described. In one embodiment, each of the at BPSs provides to a power output monitor a status signal indicative of a status thereof. Responsive to receipt of the status signals, the power output monitor determines whether a bulk power supply capacity is below system power requirements. Responsive to a positive determination, the power output monitor drives a throttle control signal to the memory controller to a level indicative of an over-threshold state.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 4, 2012
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

  • Patent number: 7472292
    Abstract: A power throttling method and system for a memory controller in a computer system. One embodiment includes, responsive to a determination that a change in the state of a cover switch has occurred that will result in an increase in an operating temperature of at least one memory device during normal operation, driving a throttle control signal to the memory controller to a level indicative of an over-threshold state.

  • Patent number: 7447043
    Abstract: A fused power cable assembly and method of integrating a protective device with a power source connector retaining bracket. A bracket assembly having a bulkhead retaining element, a protective device element, and a retaining element operable to couple the protective device to the bracket allows for mounting of protective device(s) to the bracket instead of the bulkhead, thereby saving space. A power cabling assembly having a bracket assembly, a power connector, and a fastening element operable to couple the power connector to the bulkhead and the bulkhead to the bracket assembly, allowing assembly of the power cabling assembly prior to installation into target equipment.
