Dell IDRAC6 manual Viewing Power Monitoring, 295

Using RACADM

racadm config -g cfgServerPower -o cfgServerPowerCapWatts <power cap value in Watts>

racadm config -g cfgServerPower -o cfgServerPowerCapBTUhr <power cap value in BTU/hr>

racadm config -g cfgServerPower -o cfgServerPowerCapPercent <power cap value in % >

racadm config -g cfgServerPower -o cfgServerPowerCapEnable=<1 to enable, 0 to disable>

NOTE: When setting the power budget threshold in BTU/hr, the conversion to Watts is rounded to the nearest integer. When reading the power budget threshold back, the Watts to BTU/hr conversion is again rounded in this manner. As a result, the value written could be nominally different than the value read; for example, a threshold set to 600 BTU/hr will be read back as 601 BTU/hr.
