Introduction to Power Manager
Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager is an extension or a plugin to the Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise (OME)
console and uses fine-grained instrumentation to provide increased visibility to power consumption, anomalies, and utilization.
Also, Power Manager alerts and reports about power and thermal events in servers, chassis, and custom groups consisting
of servers and chassis. This reporting enables increased control, faster response times, greater accuracy, and broader decision-
making intelligence than is otherwise possible.
When used with PowerEdge servers or modular systems with an iDRAC Enterprise or iDRAC Datacenter license, or supported
chassis and OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license, Power Manager leverages information from the OME console to deliver
platform-level power reporting. Power Manager then communicates with Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) or
Chassis Management Controller (CMC) on each managed device to provide power-management data and execution of control
policy—making it easy for administrators to identify areas in which they can gain efficiencies and cut wasteful costs.
