The EPR feature helps reduce power consumption of devices immediately during a power emergency. These
sudden power failures can cause a partial or complete center cessation and lead to major losses. In order to
avoid these losses a Data Center Administrator can apply EPR to reduce the power consumption of your
managed devices.
There are two types of EPR options available for devices and groups—Throttle and Shut Down.
• Steps to configure EPR on a device:
