Power source serialization, detection, and information transmission

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a data center device comprising at least one processor and at least one power supply, from power connection cables of a group of power connection cables connected to the at least one power supply, respective data transmissions comprising respective power source identifiers associated with respective power sources supplying respective power to the power connection cables;
• determining, by the data center device, whether the any of the power source identifiers are different;
• and
• based on a determination that none of the power source identifiers are different:
• determining, by the data center device, that the respective power sources are a same power source, and
• transmitting, by the data center device, a notification to an operator associated with the data center device, wherein the notification indicates a cabling mistake.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, in response to execution, cause a data center device comprising at least one processor and at least one power supply to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving, from power connection cables of a group of power connection cables connected to the at least one power supply, respective data transmissions comprising respective power source identifiers associated with respective power sources supplying respective power to the power connection cables;
• determining whether the any of the power source identifiers are different;
• and
• based on a determination that none of the power source identifiers are different:
• determining that the respective power sources are a same power source, and
• transmitting a notification to an operator associated with the data center device, wherein the notification indicates a cabling mistake.
