Abstract
Provided is a plurality of modules containing a computer that has a network interface to which power is supplied with PoE. The plurality of modules is connected to a network. A first module that receives a response indicating that requested power is not able to be supplied from the network performs a process of displaying an abnormality. The first module notifies a second module of the abnormality via the network. The second module controls display of the abnormality when the second module is notified of the abnormality.
Claims13
A module device, comprising:
- a plurality of modules, wherein
- each module of the plurality of modules includes a central processing unit (CPU),
- the CPU includes a network interface configured to receive power from a network by power over ethernet (PoE),
- the plurality of modules includes a first module and a second module,
- the first module is configured to:
- transmit a request to the network, wherein the request indicates a first power value;
- receive a response based on the request, wherein the response indicates a second power value smaller than the first power value;
- display an abnormality indication that indicates a power error in the first module, wherein the abnormality indication is displayed based on the response;
- and
- notify the power error to the second module, and
- the second module is configured to control an indicator to display the abnormality indication that indicates the power error in the first module, wherein the indicator is controlled to display the abnormality indication based on the notification of the power error.
