A method and system for supplying power at a voltage selected from a plurality of voltages. Power is initially received at a first voltage. Embodiments communicate with an AC adapter to get device identification and see if the AC adapter supports other voltages. If so, embodiments communicate with the AC adapter to get more information about the adapter and identify what voltages the adapter is capable of providing. If one of the voltages would allow an information handling system to operate more efficiently, embodiments negotiate a power supply contract to operate at a second voltage. When the information handling system powers down, the system resets to operation at the initial voltage.

A controller and a rectangular parallelepiped power supply apparatus are coupled to a rear surface of a midplane, to which a plurality of storage media drives are coupled in a front surface of the midplane. A plurality of interface connectors arranged in a left-right direction are provided at a front end of a controller substrate. The rear surface of the midplane includes a plurality of connectors for controller, which are a plurality of connectors arranged in the left-right direction to which interface connectors of the controller are respectively coupled, and a connector for power supply, which are connectors to which a power supply apparatus set horizontally is coupled. A part of a row of the connectors for controller is present below the power supply apparatus coupled sideways to the connector for power supply.
