• Warning Threshold: Displays the acceptable power consumption (in
Watts and BTU/hr) recommended for system operation. Power
consumption that exceeds this value results in warning events.
• Failure Threshold: Displays the highest acceptable power consumption
(in Watts and BTU/hr) required for system operation. Power consumption
that exceeds this value results in critical/failure events.
Amperage
Location: Displays the name of the power supply unit: PS-n, where n is the
•
power supply number
• Reading: The current power consumption in Amps
Power Tracking Statistics
Energy Consumption displays the current cumulative energy
•
consumption for the server measured from the input side of the power
supplies. The value is displayed in KWh and it is a cumulative value, which
is the total energy used by the system. You can reset this value with the
Reset button.
• System Peak Power specifies the maximum 1-minute average of power for
the system since Measurement Start Time. You can reset this value with
the Reset button.
• System Peak Amperage specifies the peak current value within the interval
specified by the Start and Peak times. You can reset this value with the
Reset button.
• Measurement Start Time displays the date and time recorded when the
statistic was last cleared and the new measurement cycle began. For
Energy Consumption, you can reset this value with the Reset button, but
it will persist through a system reset or failover operation. For System Peak
Power and System Peak Amperage, you can reset this value with the Reset
button, but it will also persist through a system reset or failover operation.
Measurement Finish Time displays the current date and time when the
•
system energy consumption was calculated for display. Peak Time displays
the time when the peaks occurred.
NOTE:
Power Tracking Statistics are maintained across system resets and so
reflect all activity in the interval between the stated Start and Finish times.
The Reset button will reset the respective field back to zero. In the next table,
