Abstract: A cabling module is configured for use within an IT component, the cabling module including an enclosure assembly configured to be received within the IT component. An input connector is configured to receive electrical power from within the IT component. A plurality of output connectors are configured to provide electrical power to a plurality of subcomponents of the IT component.

Abstract: An electronic system has a powerable device (e.g., one or more storage processors), a power supply assembly adapted to provide power from an external power source to the powerable device, and a data communications cable interconnected between the powerable device and the power supply assembly. The power supply assembly is further adapted to simulate backup power supply responses to the powerable device through the data communications cable in response to backup power supply communications from the powerable device through the data communications cable to imitate correct operation of a backup power supply in-line between the external power source and the power supply assembly. In the absence of such a backup power supply, the simulated backup power supply responses alleviate the need to modify the powerable device from a design that works with an actual backup power supply in-line between an external power source and a power supply assembly.

Abstract: Apparatus for use in supplying power includes an input connector and first and second output connectors. The input connector has first and second sets of pins. The first set is dedicated to receiving DC power, and the second set is dedicated to receiving AC power. The first output connector has third and fourth sets of pins. The third set is dedicated to outputting DC power based on input from the first set of pins, and the fourth set is dedicated to outputting AC power based on input from the second set of pins. The second output connector has fifth and sixth sets of pins. The fifth set is dedicated to outputting DC power based on input from the first set of pins, and the sixth set is dedicated to outputting AC power based on input from the second set of pins.
