System Idle Power Displays the estimated power consumption of the chassis
when it is in idle state. The idle state is defined as the state of
the chassis while it is ON and all modules are consuming
power while in the idle state. This is an estimated value and
not a measured value. It is computed as the cumulative
power allocated to chassis infrastructure components (I/O
modules, fans, iKVM, iDRAC controllers and front panel
LCD) and the minimum power requirement of all servers
that have been allocated power and that are in the powered-
on state. The value for system idle power is displayed in both
watts and BTU/h units.
System Potential
Power
Displays the estimated power consumption of the chassis
when it is operating at maximum power. The maximum
power consumption is defined as the state of the chassis
while it is ON and all modules are consuming maximum
power. This is an estimated value derived from historical
aggregate power consumption of the system configuration and
not a measured value. It is computed as the cumulative power
allocated to chassis infrastructure components (I/O modules,
fans, iKVM, iDRAC controllers and the front panel LCD)
and the maximum power requirement of all servers that have
been allocated power and are in the powered-on state. The
value for system potential power is displayed in both watts
and BTU/h units.
System Input
Current Reading
Displays the total input current draw of the chassis based on
the sum of the input current draw of each of the individual
PSU modules in the chassis. The value for system input
current reading is displayed in Amps.
