Figure 6 – Power Topology Profile: Changing Power Topology
Figure 7 shows a possible instantiation of the Power Topology Profile as an extension to Figure 6. Based
on capabilities1, the client can manipulate the assigned priority to the external and internal power
redundancies for each of the internal power domains. The AssignedSequence property having the value
of 1 on the association referencing exredundancyset1 versus the AssignedSequence property having a
higher value of 2 on the association referencing redundancyset1 represents that the
exredundancyset1.RedundancyStatus property takes precedence over
redundancyset1.RedundancyStatus property, and represents the overall power redundancy for the
internal power domain.
On the other hand, both AssignedSequence properties having value of 0 for redundancyset2 and
exredundancyset2 represents that the power redundancy for the internal domain does not need to be
maintained.
The AssignedSequence property could be changed by the client by a successful execution of the
Dell_OEMPowerConfigurationService.ChangeAffectedElementsAssignedSequence () method.
