Managing and Monitoring Power
The Dell PowerEdge M1000e server enclosure is the most power-efficient modular server enclosure. It is designed to
include highly-efficient power supplies and fans, has an optimized layout for the air to flow more easily through the
system, and contains power-optimized components throughout the enclosure. The optimized hardware design is
coupled with sophisticated power management capabilities built into the Chassis Management Controller (CMC), power
supplies, and iDRAC to allow you to further enhance power efficiency and to have full control over your power
environment.
The Power Management features of the M1000e help administrators configure the enclosure to reduce power
consumption and to adjust the power as required specific to the environment.
The PowerEdge M1000e modular enclosure consumes power and distributes the load across all active internal power
supply units (PSUs). The system can deliver up to 16685 Watts of input power that is allocated to server modules and the
associated enclosure infrastructure.
The PowerEdge M1000e enclosure can be configured for any of three redundancy policies that affect PSU behavior and
determine how chassis Redundancy state is reported to administrators.
You can also control power management through the Dell OpenManage Power Center. When the Dell OpenManage
Power Center controls power externally, CMC continues to maintain:
•
Redundancy policy
•
Remote power logging
•
Server performance over power redundancy
•
Dynamic Power Supply Engagement (DPSE)
•
110 VAC Operation — This is supported for only AC PSUs.
Dell OpenManage Power Center then manages:
•
Server power
•
Server priority
•
System Input Power Capacity
•
Maximum Power Conservation Mode
NOTE: Actual power delivery is based on configuration and workload.
You can use the CMC Web interface or RACADM to manage and configure power controls on CMC:
•
View power allocations, consumption, and status for the chassis, servers, and PSUs.
•
Configure power budget and redundancy policy for the chassis.
•
Execute power control operations (power-on, power-off, system reset, power-cycle) for the chassis.
