System and method for providing AC jumper management and identifying AC jumper topology
First Claim
1. A server rack comprising:
- a power mapping module;
a power receptacle coupled to the power mapping module and including a first power line communication module, wherein the power receptacle is;
uniquely associated with a rack unit of the server rack; and
collocated with the associated rack unit; and
a server installed into the rack unit and including a second power line communication module, the server being coupled to the power mapping module via a management network, wherein the server asserts an interrupt request to the power mapping module via the management network;
wherein;
the power mapping module sends a unique identifier via the first power line communication module in response to receiving the interrupt request;
the server receives the unique identifier via the second power line communication module and sends the unique identifier to the power mapping module via the management network; and
the power mapping module determines that the server is installed into the rack based upon the receipt of the unique identifier.

Abstract
A server rack includes a power mapping module, a power receptacle that includes a power tine communication module wherein the power receptacle is uniquely associated with a rack unit of the server rack and is collocated with the associated rack unit, and a server coupled to the power mapping module via a management network, wherein the server asserts an interrupt request to the power mapping module via the management network. The power mapping module sends a unique identifier via the first power tine communication module in response to receiving the interrupt request. The server receives the unique identifier via the second power line communication module and sends the unique identifier to the power mapping module via the management network. The power mapping module determines that the server is installed into the rack based upon the receipt of the unique identifier.
