Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a power supply operable to output power to a load along with at least one other power supply, a sensing component for identifying a load level, and a control component for switching the power supply from a full power mode to a power saving mode based on the identified load level. The power supply shares current with the other power supply at a lower current and generally the same voltage as the other power supply while in the power saving mode.

Abstract: The present technology provides minimal touch cable guides for rack-mounted devices. The minimal touch cable guides disclosed herein provide structures for routing cables from field replaceable units installed in a rack mounted device in such a way that cables of different types are not crossed and provides a mechanism for adjusting installed cabling to permit access to otherwise obscured field replaceable units. Such adjustment of cabling is provided in a controlled manner that does not impair the performance the installed cabling.
