Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods are provided for efficiently powering down elements and buses of a system without negatively impacting traffic. A power manager receives information from subsystems and determines whether a particular subsystem or bus can be powered down. The power manager sends a message to a subsystem when the subsystem or bus can be safely powered down. Blocker modules are coupled to buses, and the blocker modules respond with an error message if a subsystem attempts to send data over an inactive bus.
