Abstract

A method includes receiving a power supply unit ('PSU') replacement signal for a power supply chassis that includes plurality of supply enclosures. Each power supply enclosure includes a plurality of power supply units ('PSUs'). Each of the PSUs in the power supply enclosures is connected to a power bus powering computing equipment. PSU redundancy policy has at least one PSU being redundant. In response to the PSU replacement signal, the method calculates a power cap limit equal to a capacity of the plurality of supply enclosures that are not being removed. Power consumption of the computing equipment is limited to the power cap limit. In response to detecting a replacement power supply enclosure, the method recalculates the power cap limit based on all of the PSUs according to the PSU redundancy policy. Power consumption of the computing equipment is limited to the recalculated power cap limit.
