• 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
Dell OpenManage Power Center then manages prioritization and power of supported M1000e servers and later 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 unaected by external power management.
After the Server Based Power Management Mode is enabled, the chassis is prepared for Dell OpenManage Power Center management.
All supported M1000e servers and later server priorities are set to 1 (High). Dell OpenManage Power Center manages the server power
and priorities directly. Since Dell OpenManage Power Center controls compatible server power allocations, CMC no longer controls the
Maximum Power Conservation Mode. Hence, this selection is disabled.
When the Maximum Power Conservation Mode is enabled, the CMC sets the System Input Power Capacity to the maximum that the
chassis can handle. CMC does not allow power to exceed the highest capacity. However, Dell OpenManage Power Center handles all
other power capacity limitations.
When Dell OpenManage Power Center management of power is disabled, the CMC reverts to the server priority settings before the
external management was enabled.
NOTE
: When Dell OpenManage Power Center management is disabled, CMC does not revert to the earlier setting of the
maximum chassis power. See the CMC log for the earlier setting to manually restore the value.
