Show Graph
Clicking this button displays graphs showing the iDRAC6 Power and Current
Consumption in Watts and Amperes, respectively, over the last hour. The user
has the option to view these statistics up to a week before, using the
drop
-down menu provided above the graphs.
NOTE: Each data point plotted on the graphs represents the average of readings
over a 5 minute period. As a result, the graphs may not reflect brief fluctuations in
power or current consumption.
