1 Introduction
Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager is an extension to Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise
console and uses fine-grained instrumentation to provide increased visibility over power consumption,
anomalies, and utilization.
EPR feature in Power Manager, in conjunction with latest Dell EMC PowerEdge servers and chassis provide
an effective method to initiate power reduction in the occurrence of an emergency such as a drop in
Datacenter Power Availability or malfunctioning of Datacenter Cooling Mechanisms. Along with the Static or
Physical Group level hierarchies created in OpenManage Enterprise, this feature is available at all levels of a
datacenter down to an individual server, which allows administrators to be extremely precise in selecting what
to slow down.
