Power baselines and zones

The power baseline cannot be created with respect to a zone. The baseline is a singular separate entity that

is saved into the SL-APM EEPROM. Zones can use portions of the established baseline when considering
power caps, but the baseline is established globally.

Power commands

NOTE:

For the power capping feature, you must have SL-APM 1.30 or later. You must also have

an HP ProLiant s6500 Chassis or later with BIOS support required. SL-APM 1.30 does not support

the HP ProLiant DL1000, DL2000, or SL6000 Chassis.

The power commands use the SL-APM port number, the distribution module port number, and server node
port number as input parameters.
In the following figure, the SL-APM port 2 is connected to the SL-APM Distribution Module port 4. The

distribution module port, in turn, is connected to the SL enclosure and server node 8.
