238 Power Management
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 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.
System Energy
Consumption Start
Time
Displays the date and time recorded when the system energy
consumption value was last cleared, and the new
measurement cycle began. The timestamp is displayed in the
format hh:mm:ss MM/DD/YYYY, where hh is hours (0-24),
mm is minutes (00-60), ss is seconds (00-60), MM is the
month (1-12), DD is the day (1-31), and YYYY is the year.
This value is reset with the Reset Energy Statistics button,
but will persist through a CMC reset or fail over operation.
