Power supply and Redundancy policy changes in system
event log
Changes in the power supply state and power redundancy policy are recorded as events. Events related to the power supply that record
entries in the system event log (SEL) are power supply insertion and removal, power supply input insertion and removal, and power supply
output assertion and de-assertion.
The following table lists the SEL entries that are related to power supply changes:
Table 27. SEL events for power supply changes
Power Supply Event System Event Log (SEL) Entry
Insertion Power supply is present.
Removal Power supply is absent.
AC input received The power input for power supply has been restored.
AC input lost The power input for power supply is lost.
DC output produced Power supply is operating normally.
DC output lost Power supply failed.
Events related to changes in the power redundancy status that record entries in the SEL are redundancy loss and redundancy regain for
the enclosure that is configured for the Grid Redundancy power policy or Redundancy Alerting Only power policy. The following table
lists the SEL entries that are related to power redundancy policy changes.

Redundancy lost Power supply redundancy is lost.
Redundancy regained The power supplies are redundant.
Configuring power budget and redundancy
You can configure the power budget, redundancy, and dynamic power of the entire chassis (chassis, servers, I/O module, CMC, PCIe, and
chassis infrastructure). The power management service optimizes power consumption and reallocates power to different modules based
on the requirement.
You can configure the following:
• System Input Power Cap
• Redundancy Policy
• Disable Chassis Power Button
• Max Power Conservation Mode
• Remote Power Logging
• Remote Power Logging Interval
• Disable AC Power Recovery
Power conservation and power budget
If the power usage exceeds the System Input Power Cap, the power supplied to the servers by the PSU is reduced to maintain the
nominal level.
Configuring power budget and Redundancy using CMC web interface
NOTE: To perform power management actions, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.
To configure power budget:
1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview > Power > Configuration.
