System and method for managing power supply units
First Claim
1. A power supply management system comprising:
- a power supply backplane comprising a register;
a plurality of power supply units connected to the power supply backplane;
a first power controller chip configured to send a plurality of power controlling signals to the power supply backplane;
wherein the power supply backplane is configured to transmit the plurality of power controlling signals to the plurality of power supply units, to transition the plurality of power supply units into specific working states according to the plurality of power controlling signals, to collect present working states of the plurality of power supply units, to store the present working states of the plurality of power supply units in the register, and to send the present working states of the plurality of power supply units to the first power controller chip.

Abstract
A power supply management system includes a power supply backplane, a plurality of power supply units connected to the power supply backplane, and a power controller chip. The power controller chip sends a plurality of power controlling signals to the power supply backplane. The power supply backplane transmits the plurality of power controlling signals to the plurality of power supply units, transition the plurality of power supply units into specific working states according to the plurality of power controlling signals, collect present working states of the plurality of power supply units, and sends the present working states of the plurality of power supply units to the power controller chip. A method for managing power supply units is also provided.
