Power Consumption
Status |
Indicates
the status of the power consumption reading based on the warning and failure
thresholds. Can be any of the following:
-
- OK is symbolized by a green check mark and
indicates that the reading is below the warning threshold.
-
- Warning is
symbolized by a yellow triangle containing an exclamation point and
indicates that the reading has crossed the warning threshold but is
below the failure threshold.
-
- Critical
is symbolized by a red cross mark and indicates that the reading has
crossed the failure threshold.
|
Probe Name |
Probe
name for the power consumed by the system. Click the probe name to set the
threshold values. For information on setting the threshold values, see "Edit
Power Consumption Probes."
NOTE: You can set the threshold values only on
non-modular systems. |
Reading |
Value (in
Watts) of the total power consumed by the number of power supplies (AC)
present in the system. |
Warning Threshold |
Displays
the acceptable power consumption (in Watts) recommended for system
operation. Power consumption that exceeds this value results in warning
events. |
Failure Threshold |
Displays
the highest acceptable power consumption (in Watts) required for system
operation. Power consumption that exceeds this value results in
critical/failure events. |
Amperage
The Amperage section displays the instantaneous power consumption in amperage
for the power supply sensors present on the system.
 |
NOTE:
This section is present only on non-modular
systems. |
Location |
Power supply sensor
present on the system. |
Reading |
Power consumption in amperage for the corresponding power supply sensor. |

Power Tracking Statistics
The Power Tracking Statistics section gives details about the amount
of power that the system consumes in a given timeframe.
Statistic |
Energy Consumption. Indicates the cumulative power drawn by the system. |
Measurement Start Time |
Start
time for measuring the power reading. This start time is the time at
which the system was powered on for the first time. After that the
Measurement Start Time changes only when you reset the reading or flash
the firmware. |
Measurement Finish Time |
Current
time. |
Reading |
Actual
power (in KiloWatt-hours) drawn by the system. |
Reset Reading |
Click
Reset to reset the values of the Measurement Start Time,
Measurement Finish Time, and the Reading columns. The
Measurement Start Time and Measurement Finish Time are reset to
the current time. The Measurement Start Time remains constant whereas
the Measurement Finish Time is synchronized with the current time. |
Statistic |
System Peak Power. Indicates the peak power consumed (in
Watts) by the system since
the last reset. |
Measurement Start Time |
Start
time for measuring the power reading. This start time is the time at which
the system was powered on for the first time. After that the
Measurement Start Time changes only when you reset the reading or flash
the firmware. |
Peak Time |
Time of
peak power consumption. |
Peak
Reading |
Unit of
peak power consumed (in Watts). |
Reset Reading |
Click
Reset to reset the values of the Measurement Start Time,
Peak Time, and the Peak Reading columns. The
Measurement Start Time and Measurement Finish Time values are reset to
the current time. The Measurement Start Time remains constant whereas
the Peak Time reflects the time of peak power consumption. |
Statistic |
System Peak Amperage. Indicates the peak power consumed (in Amperes) by the system since
the last reset. |
Measurement Start Time |
Start
time for measuring the power reading. This start time is the time at which
the system was powered on for the first time. After that the
Measurement Start Time changes only when you reset the reading or flash
the firmware. |
Peak Time |
Time of
peak power consumption. |
Peak
Reading |
Unit of
peak power consumed (in Amperes). |
Reset Reading |
Click
Reset to reset the values of the Measurement Start Time,
Peak Time, and the Peak Reading columns. The
Measurement Start Time and Measurement Finish Time values are reset to
the current time. The Measurement Start Time remains constant whereas
the Peak Time reflects the time of peak power consumption. |
