Abstract

Systems, methods, and associated functionality are provided for supplying power to high-power IT devices, such as artificial intelligence servers. In one embodiment, a piece of electronic equipment includes multiple internal power supplies, each internal power supply being associated with a power port for receiving power from an external source. An automatic transfer switching system, separate from the piece of electronic equipment, is provided for receiving input power from first and second power sources and selectively providing output power to a load via one or more output ports. Power cords connect a plurality of the power ports of the piece of electronic equipment to the one or more output ports of the automatic transfer switching system.
