Server Performance Over
Power Redundancy
This option favors server performance and server power up,
over maintaining power redundancy. For more information
about this feature, see
Server Performance Over Power
Redundancy .
Enable Dynamic Power
Supply Engagement
On selection, enables dynamic power management. In
Dynamic Engagement mode, the power supplies are
turned ON (online) or OFF (standby) based on power
consumption, optimizing the energy consumption of the
entire chassis. For example, your power budget is 5000
watts, your redundancy policy is set to Grid Redundancy
mode, and you have six power supply units. CMC
determines that four of the power supply units can manage
the grid redundancy while the other two remain in standby
mode. If an additional 2000W of power is needed for newly
installed servers or power efficiency of the existing system
configuration is required to be improved, then the two
standby power supply units are engaged.
Disable Chassis Power
Button
On selection, disables the chassis power button. If the
check box is selected and you attempt to change the power
state of the chassis by pressing the chassis power button,
the action is ignored.
Allow 110 VAC
Operation
In a NEBS enabled chassis this option is disabled. The
Carrier Grade CMC firmware only supports DC input
operation.
Max Conservation Mode On selection, immediately enters the maximum power
conservation mode. For more information, see
Power
Conservation and Max Conservation Mode .
