Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Managing power modes of a computing system that includes a power supply and computing components, the power supply configured to supply power, through power supply channels, to the computing components, wherein power modes are managed by: operating the computing system in a performance power mode, including allowing each power channel to consume power greater than a predefined maximum power consumption threshold; receiving a signal representing a user's access to the computing components; and operating the computing system in a safety mode, insuring that each of the power supply channels does not consume power greater than the predefined maximum power consumption threshold, including: throttling power consumption of one or more of the computing components; monitoring power consumption of each power supply channel; and shutting down the computing system when at least one power supply channel consumes power greater than the predefined maximum power consumption threshold.
