Abstract
The present invention facilitates the management of blade server information handling systems by providing a non-disruptive indication signal for power management to a Management Module or similar. By providing said functionality and method, the power available to power the management module at a particular instance, in relationship to the power state of the chassis may be determined, such that power may be configured in a non-disruptive manner for the management module. Said functionality and method also provides for both the safe and efficient powering of a server from cold start or the hot-plugging of a management module into an active, powered chassis.
