Can I remove Individual Devices or Static Groups from Power Manager after applying an active static
power policy?
Description:
Removal of static groups and Individual Devices with active power policy (Static) is allowed from Power
Manager (Power Management > Monitored Devices and Groups). The applied power cap values are
automatically removed from the monitored devices and the power policy is automatically deleted in Power
Manager.

Can I remove Individual Devices or Static Groups from Power Manager after applying a Temperature-
Triggered policy?
Description:
Following are the two use cases related to Temperature-Triggered policy and static group management in
Power Manager:
• Static Group with inactive Temperature-Triggered policy (when Temperature-Triggered EPR is not
applied)
- You can remove a static group from Power Manager when the created Temperature-Triggered
policy is not in effect; that is when the average temperature of the group is lesser than the
configured temperature threshold. After removing the static group from Power Manager, the
Temperature-Triggered policy (in inactive state) is automatically removed from Power
Management > Policies tab.
- The behavior remains the same with individual devices when Temperature-Triggered EPR is
applied on a device by virtue of a Temperature-Triggered policy.
• Static Group with active Temperature-Triggered policy (when Temperature-Triggered EPR is applied)
- You can remove a static group from Power Manager when the created Temperature-Triggered
policy is in active state; that is the average temperature of the group is more than the configured
Temperature-Threshold and an EPR is applied by Temperature-Triggered policy.
- Following message is displayed on attempting to remove a static group with active Temperature-
Triggered policy.
