Information processing apparatus with power consumption monitoring function and power consumption monitoring method for information processing apparatus
Abstract
Abstract Translated from Japanese (57)【要約】 【課題】増設予定のカードが装着可能か不可能かを容易 に判明でき、カードの消費電力にかかわらずスロットに 装着することができると共に、誤ってカードを装着した ときの事故防止を図れる消費電力監視機能付き情報処理 装置、及び情報処理装置の消費電力監視方法を提供する こと。 【解決手段】前記拡張スロット部17にカ−ドを増設す る際装置内電源部12が当該拡張スロット部17からの 要求電力を十分に供給できない場合装置内電源部12が 供給している電力を監視すると共に、前記装置内電源部 12の最大供給電力と上記監視した電力からスロット部 17への供給可能電力を演算し当該演算結果に基づく所 定の情報を出力する電力監視部14とを設けた。 (57) [Abstract] [Problem] It is possible to easily determine whether or not a card to be added can be installed, and it can be installed in a slot regardless of the power consumption of the card, and when a card is installed by mistake. To provide an information processing apparatus with a power consumption monitoring function capable of preventing an accident, and a power consumption monitoring method for the information processing apparatus. SOLUTION: When a card is added to the expansion slot section 17 and the in-apparatus power supply section 12 cannot sufficiently supply the required power from the expansion slot section 17, the power supplied by the in-apparatus power supply section 12 is supplied. A power monitoring unit 14 is provided for monitoring and calculating the maximum supply power of the in-apparatus power supply unit 12 and the power that can be supplied to the slot unit 17 from the monitored power and outputting predetermined information based on the calculation result. .
