Rack Power and Thermal tab
The Power and Thermal tab displays information about the temperature inside the enclosure as well as the thermal and power subsystem health status. A graphical view of the present power and power limit helps you determine power status.

Current Btu/hr |
The sum of the amount of heat being generated by the linked enclosures measured in Btu per hour. |
|
Max Btu/hr |
The maximum amount of heat that can be generated by the linked enclosures under load measured in Btu per hour. |
Enclosure thermal and power status

Description |
|---|---|
|
Enclosure Ambient Temperature |
This field displays the highest ambient temperature being reported by the installed blade devices. If no blade devices are installed, then this field displays the temperature of the Onboard Administrator module as an approximation of the ambient temperature. |
|
Thermal Subsystem Status |
The overall thermal status of the enclosure. Possible values are Unknown, OK, Degraded, or Critical Error. |
|
Power Subsystem Status |
The overall power status of the enclosure. Possible values are Unknown, OK, Degraded, or Critical Error. |
|
Power Mode |
A user setting to configure the enclosure DC power capacity and the input power redundancy mode of the enclosure. See Power Management for possible values. |
|
Present Power |
The amount of watts being consumed by all devices in the enclosure. |
|
Power Limit |
The maximum amount of power available for consumption by the enclosure measured in watts. |
|
Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap |
A power cap on a group of servers in the enclosure. As the servers run, the demand for power varies for each server. A power cap for each server is set to provide the server with enough power to meet its workload demands while still conforming to the Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap. Continuous monitoring of power demands and automatic adjustments to server power caps ensure there is minimal performance degradation. Information for the Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap appears only if a cap has been defined. |
|
|
IMPORTANT: If redundancy mode is set to AC Redundant, or Power Supply Redundant, and power redundancy is lost, then you must either add additional power supplies or change the redundancy mode setting in the Onboard Administrator to restore Power Subsystem status. See the Insight Display for corrective steps. |
Present Power/Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap/Power Limit
The Present Power is the number of watts being consumed by all the devices in the enclosure. The Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap automatically adjusts power caps on servers in the enclosure to meet workload demands on the servers while still conforming to the Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap. The Power Limit is the maximum amount of input power available for consumption by the enclosure. The Power Limit is dependent on the enclosure power redundancy setting and the number and location of the power supplies in the enclosure. If a Static Power Limit has been specified, the Power Limit displays that limit.
