Abstract: An information handling system main board CMOS is powered by a CMOS battery, such as to keep a real time clock during a power off state, with the battery ground passed through a ground pad so that ground to the CMOS is incomplete until a coupling device, such as a screw, couples the main board to an information handling system housing. A bi-stable relay couples to the main board between the CMOS battery positive terminal and the CMOS to prevent application of power by the CMOS battery to the CMOS after closing of the ground until an embedded controller that is powered on the main board commands closing of the bi-stable relay.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a liquid cooling module for an information handling system that may include a mounting card configured to mount the liquid cooling module to a card slot proximate to a graphics card; a radiator inlet configured to receive a heated liquid from a pump of the graphics card; a radiator inlet tube configured to transfer the heated liquid from the graphics card to the liquid cooling module; a radiator configured to receive the heated liquid via a radiator inlet; a blower configured to direct a surrounding air flow across the radiator to cool the heated liquid; a radiator outlet configured to receive the cooled liquid from the radiator; and a radiator outlet tube configured to transfer the cooled liquid from the liquid cooling module to the graphics card.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for monitoring total power consumption of a component coupled to a riser card includes: capturing, by a power cable sensor, a first signal associated with a power cable; receiving, by a power monitor, the first signal from the power cable sensor via a first bus; determining, by the power monitor, a first power consumption level indicating a first voltage supplied to the component via the power cable; capturing, by a card slot sensor, a second signal associated with a card slot; receiving, by the power monitor, the second signal from the card slot sensor via a second bus; determining, by the power monitor, a second power consumption level indicating a second voltage supplied to the component via the card slot; and determining, by the power monitor, a total power consumption level associated with the component based on the first and the second power consumption levels.
