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