摘要： A system for detecting latent defects within a redundant power architecture includes a plurality of redundant power supplies, each having one or more output power rails, connected in a redundant fashion to a system load; each power supply output having fault-isolating OR'ing circuitry that prevents reverse current flow when free of defects; each power supply having means for adjusting its output voltage; each power supply having means for monitoring an internal voltage therein, and, based on characteristics of the monitored internal voltage, determining the presence of latent defect/s in the fault-isolating “OR'ing” circuitry. Further, the system operates to shift the load demanded from power supplies in redundant power architectures to allow the power supplies to run at their optimum electrical efficiency.

摘要： 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.

摘要： A system and method for determining a fault threshold for an operational module according to the model of the operational module are described. The system includes an operational module, a storage unit, and a monitoring unit. The operational module has circuitry for producing a characterization signal with an electrical characteristic that uniquely correlates to the model of the operational module. A storage unit maintains an association between at least one parameter value and a fault threshold. A monitoring unit is in communication with the operational module to receive the characterization signal and with the storage unit. The monitoring unit measures the electrical characteristic of the characterization signal to derive a parameter value therefrom and accesses the storage unit to determine the fault threshold associated with the derived parameter value.
