Power Tracking Statistics and Peak Statistics
• Statistic:
– Cumulative System Power displays the current cumulative energy
consumption (in kWh) for the server. The value represents the total
energy used by the system. You can reset this value to 0 by clicking
Reset at the end of the table row.
– System Peak Power specifies the system peak value in AC Watts.
System Peak Amperage specifies the system peak amperage. The peak
value is the highest value recorded between the Measurement Start
Time and now. The peak time was the point in time when that peak
value occurred. Click Reset at the end of the table row to set it back to
the current instantaneous value (which, if the server is running, will
not be 0). Clicking reset will also reset the measurement start time to
the current time.
• Measurement Start Time displays the date and time recorded when the
system energy consumption value was last cleared and the new
measurement cycle began. For Cumulative System Power, System Peak
Amperage, and System Peak Power statistics, the peak values when reset,
will immediately reflect the current instantaneous value.
• Measurement Current Time for Cumulative System Power displays the
current date and time when the system energy consumption was
calculated for display. For System Peak Amperage and System Peak Power,
the Peak Time fields display the time when these peaks occurred.
• Reading: The value of the appropriate statistic—Cumulative System Power,
System Peak Power, and System Peak Amperage since the counter was started.
NOTE:
Power Tracking Statistics are maintained across system resets and so reflect
all activity in the interval between the stated Start and Current times. The power
values displayed in the Power Consumption table are cumulative averages over the
respective time interval (last 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.
