Abstract
A computer-implemented method identifies the path of a first power circuit to a first power supply that is connected to supply power to an electronic device, and identifies the path of a second power circuit to a second power supply that is connected to supply power to the electronic device. The method then compares the path of the first power distribution circuit with the path of the second power distribution circuit to determine a measure of redundancy in the first and second distribution paths. A measure of redundancy may then be output to a user.
Claims23
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- identifying the path of a first power circuit to a first power supply that is connected to supply power to an electronic device;
- identifying the path of a second power circuit to a second power supply that is connected to supply power to the electronic device;
- comparing the path of the first power circuit with the path of the second power circuit to determine a measure of redundancy in the first and second paths;
- and
- providing an output that represents the measure of redundancy to a user.
