Power Capping
Option Description
Power Budget Displays the enclosure available power wattage.
It is the summary of each PSU’s capacity (i.e. based on the
number of PSUs and the maximum capacity of each PSU).
Each PSU supports a maximum output wattage of 1100 W
or 1400 W. Power budget in the enclosure must not exceed
2660 W.
The power budget is determined by the following formula,
power budget = (maximum output wattage of the
installed PSU x sum of the PSUs in the enclosure) x 0.95.
For example, in an enclosure with two PSUs the power
budget is (1400 W x 2 PSU) x 0.95 = 2660 W.
Chassis Level Capping
(Disabled default)
Set as chassis level or sled level power capping. (The
default setting is referred from BMC). The system
determines the power consumption of the enclosure and
sleds, and constantly attempts to maintain the enclosure’s
power consumption below the cap.
Chassis Power Capping
(0 default)
NOTE: This option is enabled when the Chassis Level
Capping is set to Enabled.
Determines the power consumption of the chassis. The
minimum wattage rating should not less than 1500 W and
the maximum wattage rating should not be more than the
power budget value. Settings range from 1500 to 9000 W.
