Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product for load shedding during an emergency power off event. In one embodiment, power is supplied from a main power source to a plurality of electrical loads within a device enclosure. Power loss is detected from the main power source. Upon detecting the power loss, at least one of the electrical loads is disconnected from a supplemental power source such that power to at least one remaining load connected to the supplemental power source is sustained by the supplementary power source.
