344 Power Management
Minimum System
Power Start Time
Displays the date and time recorded when the minimum system
power consumption value was last cleared. 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 Peak/Min Power
Statistics button and also when CMC resets or fails over.
Minimum System
Power Timestamp
Displays the date and time recorded when the minimum system
power consumption occurred over the time period being
recorded. The format of the timestamp is the same as described
for Peak System Power Timestamp.
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 is ON
and all modules are consuming maximum power. This is an
estimated value derived from historical aggregate power
consumption of the system configuration 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 the front panel LCD) and the maximum power
requirement of all servers that have been allocated power and 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.
