Enclosure power allocation

The Power Allocation screen displays basic information regarding the power subsystem's total capacity,

redundant capacity, and the allocated power in watts. The Enclosure Internal Power graph displays the watts

that are allocated in green against a gray background, which represents the total redundant capacity of the
power supplies.

If you change the enclosure redundancy mode after power is allocated to the devices, then the power

subsystem might become degraded. Power is still allocated to the devices, but redundancy might not function

properly. If zero watts are available and the power graph displays degraded, check your power subsystem

and redundancy configurations. You can resolve the degraded condition by changing your redundancy
mode or by adding more power supplies to the enclosure.
Power Capacity will equal Power Allocated in the case where redundancy is lost.

Enclosure power summary

Enclosure Input Power Summary
Present Power is the input watts to the enclosure and is measured in Watts AC for power supplies with AC

inputs and is measured in Watts DC for power supplies with DC inputs. Max Input Power is the highest

expected input watts. If the Power Limit is set, then the Max Input Power is equal to the Power Limit. If the
Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap is set and EDPC is enabled, then the Max Input Power is equal to the

Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap. If neither Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap nor Power Limit is set, then the Max

Input Power of the enclosure is the expected input power for the enclosure to operate at maximum DC output

capacity.
Enclosure Output Power Summary
When EDPC is disabled, Power Capacity is based on the number of installed and operational power

supplies, their DC output capacities, and the redundant Power Mode setting. Power Allocated is the total

enclosure power output allocated for Device Bays, Interconnect Bays, and Fans. Power Available is Power

Capacity minus Power Allocated.
