is moved or a new server is plugged into an iPDU. If you need a place to deploy a new server, Insight
Control can identify the rack(s) with available power where you can put it (Figure 11). You simply
click on the Available Power tab to determine where you have enough power for the server or device
you need to deploy.
Dynamic Power Capping, controlled on multiple servers through Insight Control, completes the

available power capacity.
