The specification may disclose a system and related method for control of
a server system that may include determining the amount of power
delivered in a system utilizing redundant power supplies based on a
measurement of the voltage of load share signals between those power
supplies, and then allowing additional servers installed in the server
system to power-on only if the amount of power required for the combined
servers does not exceed the maximum available power or exceed the power
required for a certain type of redundant power supply operation.
