Derate
Derating is the technique employed in power electronic devices wherein the device is operated at less than its
rated maximum power dissipation taking into consideration the temperature and the type of cooling mechanism
used. You can enter derated power, heat and weight for devices. The default values are set by the manufacturer,
but derated settings override manufacturer provided data. This option is available in all views.
The individual asset derating will always take precedence over any other derate. For example if you have server
X inside rack A and derate it. The server derating takes priority.
To derate assets:
1. Select the asset to derate and select Properties.
2. Select the Derate tab.
3. Enable the Heat, Power or Weight checkbox and enter the appropriate value.
