Summary:For distributing available power between a plurality of cards hot pluggable into chassis slots, a power policy, which defines rules and conditions for assuredly distributing the available power to selected ones of the plurality of cards, is configured. The selected ones, each of which is assured to receive power when hot plugged, are selectable to include any card of the plurality of cards. When any one of the plurality of cards is hot plugged into one of the slots, the power policy is triggered to assuredly distribute the available power to the selected ones that are hot plugged, or activate an alarm if the any one card that is hot plugged is excluded from the selected ones. The power policy is modifiable in response to a change in the rules and conditions.
