•
Rack PDU : Rack Power Distribution Unit - This represents the input power and multiple outputs to load
segments.
•
Load Segment : This represents each of the outputs of the PDU that can be monitored. HP PDU
Management Module discovers up to the Load Segment level of the power topology.
•
Outlet Bar : This represents the division of the load segment into multiple outlets.
•
Outlet : A circuit with one input and one output that can be monitored.
•
Load : The power consumer connected to the outlet. The load can be a system, enclosure, or
undiscoverable system.
Power Summary meter
The Power Summary meter provides an overview of the power capacity and consumption for a given power
delivery device or power consuming system. The following figure shows all possible parameters of power
capacity and consumption, however, often only a subset of values will be available.
Power Summary meter Information
•
Peak Observed Power : Peak of power consumption values concurrently observed for all attached
devices. For non-observable devices, the Maximum Possible Power Consumption (as configured
through the power management properties for the system) will be used. This is not the sum of the peak
power consumption over all devices – that is a higher value than the peak sum of power consumed at
any given time. The Peak Observed Power is shown in Amps and Watts.
•
Calibrated Max Power : Sum of the maximum theoretical power consumption of all attached devices.
The Calibrated Maximum Power is shown in Amps and Watts. For non-observable devices, the Maximum
Possible Power Consumption
(as configured through the power management properties for the
system) will be used.
•
Power Cap (Yellow dot): Sum of capped power consumption for all attached devices. For capped
devices, the cap value will be used. For non-observable devices, the Maximum Possible Power
Consumption value will be used. The Power Cap is shown in Amps and Watts. The Power Cap is
obtained from the management processor for the associated system. This is the most recent value
detected by power management.
•
Capacity : The available or maximum power limit of the power delivery device. The Capacity is shown
in Amps and Watts. The reported capacity is determined as follows:
•
Power Delivery Devices : The capacity is the lower of the specified Rated Capacity, Derated
Capacity, or Power Limit specified in the power management configuration for the system.
•
Rack : The capacity is the lower of:
•
The sum of capacities of all power delivery devices associated with the rack. If any device
in the rack has the “System required redundant power” option selected, then the total capacity
is divided by 2.
•
The Thermal Limit value as specified in the Rack Editor (define/edit rack page).
