Dynamic power capping for server blades
Dynamic power capping is an iLO 2 feature available for c-Class server blades and accessed through HP
Onboard Administrator. For more information on all the power setting options for c-Class server blades,
see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide.
Dynamic power capping is only available if your system hardware platform, BIOS (ROM), and power
micro-controller firmware version support this feature. If your system is capable of performing dynamic
power capping, iLO 2 automatically functions in Dynamic Power capping mode.
In Onboard Administrator, there are two Dynamic Power capping options:
•
Dynamic Power
If enabled, Dynamic Power automatically places unused power supplies in standby mode to increase
enclosure power supply efficiency, thereby minimizing enclosure power consumption during lower
power demand. Increased power demands automatically return standby power supplies to full
performance. If Dynamic Power is:
o
Enabled (default setting)—Some power supplies can be automatically placed on standby to
increase overall enclosure power subsystem efficiency.
o
Disabled—All power supplies share the load. The power subsystem efficiency varies based on
load.
