Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method to abstract hardware access from applications running on a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) using a hardware API service. According to one embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) includes executable instructions to expose an Application Program Interface (API) including a plurality of labels each uniquely identifying one of the hardware devices and a function to be provided by the one hardware device, and when an application executed on the BMC calls one of the labels, communicate with at least the one hardware device to perform the function specified by the one label.

A system for setting a power cap state is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of power monitor sensors generating power monitor sensor data and a plurality of thermal monitor sensors generating thermal monitor sensor data. A controller has a plurality of inputs configured to receive the power monitor sensor data and the thermal monitor sensor data, to assign a priority to one of two or more power cap states and to generate a control signal. A power limiting circuit coupled to the controller is configured to receive the control signal and to modify one or more power settings.
