Abstract
A multiple link power allocation system includes a powered IHS coupled to a powering IHS by a plurality of networking cables that transmit data and power to provide a plurality of data/power links. The powering IHS may detect that the data/power links are connected to the powered IHS, determine a total power amount needed by the powered IHS, and provide the total power amount to the powered IHS using the data/power links. The powered IHS may detect the connection of an initial data/power link, enable a first powered IHS function mode and, in response, draw a first power amount through the initial data/power link. The powered IHS may also detect the connection of subsequent data/power link(s), enable a second powered IHS function mode and, in response, draw a second power amount through the initial data/power link and the subsequent data/power link(s) that is greater than the first power amount.
