Power Management 227
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's 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's ON and all modules are consuming maximum
power. 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
maximum power requirement of all servers that have been
allocated power and that 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.

Item Description
System Energy
Consumption
Displays the current cumulative energy consumption for all
modules in the chassis measured from the input side of the
power supplies. The value is displayed in KWh and it is a
cumulative value.
