Power Consumption data is not maintained across system resets and so will reset back to zero on those occasions. The power values displayed are cumulative averages over the respective time interval (previous minute, hour, day and week). Since the Start to Finish time intervals here may differ from those of the Power Tracking Statistics ones, peak power values (Max Peak Watts versus Max Power Consumption) may differ.

Power Consumption

Displays the average, maximum, and minimum power consumption in the system for the last minute, last hour, last day, and last week.

Average Power Consumption: Average over previous minute, previous hour, previous day and previous week.

Max and Min Power Consumption: The maximum and minimum power consumptions observed within the given time interval.

Max and Min Power Time: The time when the maximum and minimum power consumptions occurred.

Headroom

System Instantaneous Headroom displays the difference between the power available in the power supply units and the system's current power consumption.

System Peak Headroom displays the difference between the power available in the power supply units and the system's peak power consumption.

Show Graph

Click Show Graph to display graphs showing the iDRAC6 Power and Current Consumption in Watts and Amperes, respectively, over the last hour. The user has the option to view these statistics up to a week before, using the drop-down menu provided above the graphs.

NOTE: Each data point plotted on the graphs represents the average of readings over a 5 minute period. As a result, the graphs may not reflect brief fluctuations in power or current consumption.
