System and method for automatic throttling of resources in an information handling system chassis

A system for automatic throttling of resources in an information handling system chassis, comprising:

• at least one resource;
• a throttle module communicatively coupled to at least one resource, the throttle module operable to:
• determine whether a first throttling condition exists, the first throttling condition existing when a chassis management controller fails to communicate a clock or synchronization signal to one or more devices in an information handling system chassis for a particular duration of time;
• determine whether a second throttling condition exists, the second throttling condition existing when the chassis management controller fails to communicate data to one or more devices in the information system handling chassis;
• determine whether a third throttling condition exists, the third throttling condition existing when the resource is not in a low-power configuration;
• determine whether a fourth throttling condition exists, the fourth throttling condition existing when an out-of-band command has been received to throttle the resource;
• and
• communicate a signal to throttle a resource if at least one of the first throttling condition and the second throttling condition exists.

An information handling system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
• and a throttle module communicatively coupled to at least one of the processor and the memory, the throttle module operable to:
• determine whether a first throttling condition exists, the first throttling condition existing when a chassis management controller fails to communicate a clock or synchronization signal to one or more devices in an information handling system chassis for a particular duration of time;
• determine whether a second throttling condition exists, the second throttling condition existing when the chassis management controller fails to communicate data to one or more devices in the information system handling chassis;
• determine whether a third throttling condition exists, the third throttling condition existing when the information handling system is not in a low-power configuration;
• determine whether a fourth throttling condition exists, the fourth throttling condition existing when an out-of-band command has been received to throttle the information handling system;
• and
• communicate a signal to throttle at least one of the processor and the memory if at least one of the first throttling condition and the second throttling condition exists.
