Power Consumption

Power Consumption Options

The Power Consumption Options group allows you to select the power control mode and specify whether the power consumption should be monitored over time.

Power Control Mode

Mode for controlling the power consumption of the managed server:

Power Mgmt. Disabled:

The iRMC S2/S3 allows the operating system to control power consumption.

Best Performance:

The iRMC S2/S3 controls the server to achieve best performance. In this event, power consumption can rise.

Low Noise: (iRMC S3 only)

The iRMC S3 controls the server to achieve the lowest possible noise emission. This feature is not supported for all PRIMERGY servers and only available for specific configurations.

Minimum Power:

The iRMC S2/S3 controls the server to achieve the lowest possible power consumption. In this event, performance is not always ideal.

Power Limit:

The Power Limit Options group is displayed (see "Power Limit Options" on page 204).

Scheduled:

The iRMC S2/S3 controls power consumption in accordance with a schedule that you can define using the SCU (see "Scheduled Power Consumption Configuration" on page 202).
