Power Management 363
External Power Management
CMC Power management is optionally controlled by the “Power Measure,
Mitigate, and Manage Console” (PM3). For more information, see the PM3
User’s Guide.
When external power management is enabled, PM3 manages:
• Server Power of 12th generation servers
• Server Priority of 12th generation servers
• System Input Power Capacity
• Maximum Power Conservation Mode
The CMC continues to maintain or manage:
• Redundancy Policy
• Remote Power Logging
• Server Performance over Power Redundancy
• Dynamic Power Supply Engagement
• Server Power of 11th generation and earlier servers
PM3 then manages prioritization and power of 12th generation blade servers
in the chassis from the budget available after allocation of power to chassis
infrastructure and prior generation blade servers. Remote power logging is
unaffected by external power management.
