6.4.3 Active Energy Manager tasks

After the AEM is launched, it displays the AEM console in the IBM Director
Console. Its functions enable you to monitor and collect power-consumption data
from power devices, create trend data, export data and manage energy on
certain hardware, for example by using capping features.
A new Active Energy Manager task icon is added in the IBM Director
Management console after installation of the AEM extension (see Figure 6-25).

launch the Active Energy Manager GUI. Use the GUI to view and monitor power
consumption on various rack-mounted servers, BladeCenter chassis and iPDUs
in the IBM Director environment (see Figure 6-26 on page 339).
