Abstract
A system comprises a plurality of power supplies, a fan coupled to the power supplies, power management logic adapted to reconfigure the load to draw less power when a power supply fails and emergency logic. The emergency logic receives a status signal from each of the power supplies and, upon detecting a failure of a power supply, causes power to temporarily turn off to the fan while the power management logic reconfigures the load to draw less power.
