Abstract: A fail-safe power limit (FSPL) can be applied to components that lose communication with a management module (MM) to determine a safe power level at which to operate. The FSPL may be computed by the management module (MM) for the information handling system and distributed to components in the information handling system. By computing a FSPL and transmitting the FSPL to the components, a larger amount of the available power can be used by the components. This allows the components to continue operating at performance levels closer to or equivalent to levels available when the management module (MM) is operating normally. The FSPL may be updated at set times and/or on a periodic schedule such that the FSPL used by the components when communication is lost with the management module (MM) reflects a recent operating state of the components.

Abstract: An event recognition and response system includes an event sensor. An event recognition engine is coupled to the event sensor. An action profile database is coupled to the event recognition engine. The event recognition engine is operable to receive an event input from the event sensor, compare the event input to a plurality of action profiles in the action profile database and, upon determining that at least one action profile in the action profile database matches the event input, perform a predetermined action.
