Power Control Feature
Power consumption of the server can be controlled through the command line interface of EXPRESSSCOPE
Engine 3 (BMC) or by using NEC ESMPRO Manager. This feature curves the upper limit of the power
consumption, which allows more servers to be installed in the environment where the power consumption is
limited.
For settings information, see "EXPRESSSCOPE Engine3 User's Guide" or NEC ESMPRO Manager online
help.
