Power Management 191
Configuring Power Budget and Redundancy
The CMC’s power management service optimizes power consumption for the
entire chassis (the chassis, servers, IOMs, iKVM, CMC, and PSUs) and re-
allocates power to different modules based on the demand.

Item Description
System Max AC
Power Limit
Indicates the user-defined maximum power consumption limit
for the entire system (chassis, CMC, servers, I/O modules,
power supply units, iKVM, and fans). The CMC will enforce
this limit when power conservation mode is enabled (by
checking Server Power Throttling Enabled), or by powering off
lower priority blades if power conservation mode is not enabled.
The power budget is limited to a maximum of three PSUs out
of a total of six PSUs. If you attempt to set an AC power
budget value that exceeds the power capacity of your chassis,
the CMC will display a failure message.
Configuration range: 2768–7928 watts
Default: 7928 watts
