Power Capping

Option

Description

 

 

Power Budget

Displays the enclosure available power wattage.

 

It is the summary of each PSU’s capacity (i.e. based on the

 

number of PSUs and the maximum capacity of each PSU).

 

Each PSU supports a maximum output wattage of 1100 W

 

or 1400 W. Power budget in the enclosure must not exceed

 

2660 W.

 

The power budget is determined by the following formula,

 

power budget = (maximum output wattage of the

 

installed PSU x sum of the PSUs in the enclosure) x 0.95.

 

For example, in an enclosure with two PSUs the power

 

budget is (1400 W x 2 PSU) x 0.95 = 2660 W.

Chassis Level Capping

Set as chassis level or sled level power capping. (The

(Disabled default)

default setting is referred from BMC). The system

 

determines the power consumption of the enclosure and

 

sleds, and constantly attempts to maintain the enclosure’s

 

power consumption below the cap.

Chassis Power Capping

NOTE: This option is enabled when the Chassis Level

(0 default)

Capping is set to Enabled.

 

Determines the power consumption of the chassis. The

 

minimum wattage rating should not less than 1500 W and

 

the maximum wattage rating should not be more than the

 

power budget value. Settings range from 1500 to 9000 W.
