Power Supplies
Click the Power Supplies object to manage your system’s power supplies. Server Administrator monitors power supply status, including
redundancy, to ensure that each power supply present in your system is functioning properly.
The Power Supplies object action window can have the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and Alert
Management.
NOTE: Power Supply Monitoring and Power Monitoring features are available only for systems that have two or more
redundant, hot-swappable power supplies installed. These features are unavailable for permanently installed, non-
redundant power supplies that lack power management circuitry.

• View information about your power supply redundancy attributes.
• Check the status of individual power supply elements, including the Firmware Version of the power supply, and Maximum Output
Wattage.
• Check the status of individual power supply elements, including the Firmware Version of the power supply, Rated Input Wattage, and
Maximum Output Wattage. The Rated Input Wattage attribute is displayed only on PMBus systems starting 11G.
