Power throttling

Each blade server is powered by two SBCE unit redundant 2000 W power supply modules. By enforcing a power policy known as oversubscription, the SBCE unit can load-share power between two power modules to ensure efficient power for each device in the SBCE unit. This policy is enforced when the initial power is applied to the SBCE unit or when a blade server is inserted into the SBCE unit.

The possible settings for this policy are:

Redundant without performance impact

Redundant with performance impact

Non-redundant

You can configure and monitor the power environment using the management module. For more information about configuring and using power throttling, refer to your management module manual.
