Smart Server Manager v1.2 – Best Practices

Once set the admin may than begin to create one of three power zones – Critical, High Availability and Low
Priority. The power zones will act as groups of which servers should impose power capping when the rack
limit begins to be reached. For example, if the set rack begins to peak, the low priority servers will be under
clocked first, before the high availability and critical server groups. Each group can be configured to throttle
the servers to any percentage desired – this mostly relates to the CPU usage.


After setting the management groups the admin will have to set up a rack of devices for which the groups
will apply to. The first step the admin can right click in the device tree to the left-hand side to add a power
management device.
