Arrangement comprising at least two power supply units and at least one current consuming component, a computer system as well as a method for controlling an arrangement

摘要

The invention relates to an arrangement comprising at least two power supply units (1) for generating an output-side operating voltage of at least on the input side a supply voltage (3) and at least one current consuming component (8), the electrically with the at least two power supply units (1) is coupled. The arrangement has control means, which is adapted to the function of the at least two power supply units (1) to monitor and in the event of failure of at least one power supply unit (1) the current consuming component (8) from a normal operating mode to switch in a limited operating mode, whose power consumption is smaller than that of the first operating mode is.The present invention also relates to a computer system (12) comprising such an arrangement and a management component (19) as well as a method (20) for controlling such an arrangement.
