An example power module includes an energy storage device, an energy storage carrier, and an electrical connector. The energy storage carrier houses the energy storage device and is removably insertable into a modular data storage slot of a computing device. The modular data storage slot has a data path and a first power path to removably couple to a data storage module. The electrical connector is to transfer energy from the energy storage device to a second power path associated with the modular data storage slot.

Space saving, modular, hot-pluggable power modules

An example system includes a server including a power supply and a microcontroller. The power supply may store parameters for a plurality of different ranges of overcurrent and a plurality of corresponding different time periods. The power supply may also receive information from the electrical component corresponding to the speed at which the electrical component can reduce the amount of power the electrical component is consuming. The controller may receive information from the power supply to determine the amount of current that will cause an overcurrent event in the electrical component. The controller may signal the electrical component to reduce the amount of power the electrical component is drawing from the power supply in response to the detected amount of current corresponding to the overcurrent event.

Overcurrent event power throttling

In some examples, an Emergency Power Off (EPO) device can be connected to a non-EPO port of a computing device, and the EPO device can provide an EPO signal via the non-EPO port to a manager connected to an energy storage device of the computing device, wherein the EPO signal comprises instructions to power off the energy storage device.
