Abstract
A rack-style computer system is provided. The computer system includes a first server, a second server, and a power distribution unit (PDU). The PDU supplies power to the first server and the second server and monitors the power supplied to the first server and the second server and obtains a power sum value. The first server determines whether the power sum value exceeds a predetermined threshold, and if the determination is affirmative, the first server performs a power throttling.
