Power Management

The Dell PowerEdge M1000e server enclosure is the most power-efficient

modular server enclosure in the market. It is designed to include highly-

efficient power supplies and fans, has an optimized layout so that air flows

more easily through the system, and contains power-optimized components

throughout the enclosure. The optimized hardware design is coupled with

sophisticated power management capabilities built into the Chassis

Management Controller (CMC), power supplies, and iDRAC to allow you to

further enhance power efficiency and to have full control over your power

environment.

The PowerEdge M1000e modular enclosure takes in AC power and

distributes the load across all active internal power supply units (PSUs).

The system can deliver up to 16685 Watts of AC power that is allocated to

server modules and the associated enclosure infrastructure.

You can also control Power management through the Power Measure,

Mitigate, and Manage Console (PM3). When PM3 controls power

externally, CMC continues to maintain:

• Redundancy Policy

• Remote Power Logging

• Server Performance Over Power Redundancy

• Dynamic Power Supply Engagement

• 110 VAC Operation

PM3 then manages:

• Server power

• Server priority

• System Input Power Capacity

• Maximum Power Conservation Mode

NOTE: Actual power delivery is based on configuration and workload.
