Power and thermal screen
Row Description
Enclosure Ambient
Temperature
This field displays the highest ambient temperature being reported by the installed
blade devices. If no blade devices are installed, then this field displays the
temperature of the Onboard Administrator module as an approximation of the
ambient temperature.
Thermal Subsystem Status The overall thermal status of the enclosure. Possible values are Unknown, OK,
Degraded, or Critical Error.
Power Subsystem Status The overall power status of the enclosure. Possible values are Unknown, OK,
Degraded, or Critical Error.
Power Mode A user setting to configure the enclosure DC power capacity and the input power
redundancy mode of the enclosure. See Power Management for possible values.
Present Power The amount of watts being consumed by all devices in the enclosure.
Power Limit
The maximum amount of power available for consumption by the enclosure
measured in watts.
Enclosure Dynamic Power
Cap
A power cap on a group of servers in the enclosure. As the servers run, the demand
for power varies for each server. A power cap for each server is set to provide the
server with enough power to meet its workload demands while still conforming to the
Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap. Continuous monitoring of power demands and
automatic adjustments to server power caps ensure there is minimal performance
degradation. Information for the Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap appears only if a
cap has been defined.
Present Power/Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap/Power Limit
The Present Power is the number of watts being consumed by all the devices in the enclosure. The Enclosure
Dynamic Power Cap automatically adjusts power caps on servers in the enclosure to meet workload
demands on the servers while still conforming to the Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap. The Power Limit is the
maximum amount of input power available for consumption by the enclosure. The Power Limit is dependent
on the enclosure power redundancy setting and the number and location of the power supplies in the
enclosure. If a Static Power Limit has been specified, the Power Limit displays that limit.
