Headroom. The values are displayed in both Watts and BTU/hr
(British Thermal Unit). Power thresholds can be set in Watts and BTU/hr.
The Statistics tab allows you to view and reset your system’s Power tracking
statistics like energy consumption, system peak power, and system peak
amperage.
Management
Subtabs: Budget | Profiles

Power Cap for your system.

system’s performance and conserve energy.
