OpenManage Power Center
OpenManage Power Center is a one-to-many application that can read power usage and thermal readings information from Dell EMC
servers, Power Distribution Units (PDU), and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS). It can aggregate this information into rack, row, and
room-level views. On servers with iDRAC Enterprise license, you can also cap or throttle the power consumption. You may need to set
power caps to reduce the power consumption due to external events such as brownouts or failures of data-center cooling devices. You
can also use power capping to safely increase the numbers of servers in a rack to match the power that is provisioned for that rack.
For more information, see OpenManage Power Center User’s Guide available at www.dell.com/esmmanuals.
