Comparing

NOTE: If you are using Internet Explorer 8, you must install Adobe Flash Player in order for the compare function to

work properly.

Power Center enables you to add a device or a group to compare the device’s or group’s power and temperature status

and energy consumption in the selected time period. For example, you can select the devices within two rooms and

compare their temperatures, or select two groups with similar devices to compare their power consumption, or you can

compare the data from one group in two different time periods. You can also print the comparison results.

The power and temperature information that you can compare includes:

• Power consumption — Average, maximum, minimum, and peak time power consumption.

• Temperature — Average, maximum, and minimum temperature.

• Energy — Total energy consumption and cost, including IT energy and cooling energy.

To compare the groups/devices, click Compare in the left pane, change the time period, and add a device or group.

Changing the Time Period

You can select a date and time range to compare the monitored power and temperature status of the devices within the

selected period. To select a date and time period:

1. Click Change Time Period

2. Select start date and end dates from Date From and Date To.

You can either select from the calendar, or manually enter the dates in the format <YYYY-MM-DD>.

You can select from the drop-down list. If you need to compare the data for one day (24 hours), select 00:00 of this

date and 00:00 of the next day to compare.

4. Click Apply.

Adding a Device or Group for Comparison

You can add one to three devices or groups to compare the power and temperature status. Only one device or group
