Sharing power between two or more power sharing servers
First Claim
1. A power sharing server, the power sharing server comprising:
- a computer processor;
a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor;
a power supply unit coupled to a power domain unit via a power supply unit port;
an intravoltage port configured to receive a shared power cable coupled to an intravoltage port of a different power sharing server; and
a transfused power card coupled to the power supply unit via a primary input power line, the transfused power card further coupled to the intravoltage port via a shared power line, the transfused power card further configured to;
export electrical current via an intravoltage port when the transfused power card is receiving electrical current, above a threshold, from the power supply unit, andimport electrical current via the intravoltage port when the transfused power card is not receiving electrical current, above the threshold, from the power supply unit.

13. A method of sharing power between two or more power sharing servers, the method comprising:
-
determining, by a transfused power card in a particular power sharing server, whether the transfused power card is receiving electrical current from a power supply unit; exporting electrical current via an intravoltage port when the transfused power card is receiving electrical current, above a threshold, from the power supply unit; and importing electrical current via the intravoltage port when the transfused power card is not receiving electrical current, above the threshold, from the power supply unit, wherein the intravoltage port of the particular power sharing server is coupled to an intravoltage port of a different power sharing server. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
