Maximum Potential Power; Power Usage On The System Activity Display; System Activity Display And Monitors Dashboard - IBM z13s Technical Manual

This function enables operations personnel with no z Systems knowledge to query the
maximum power draw of the system, as shown in Figure 10-6. The implementation helps to
avoid capping enforcement through dynamic capacity reduction. The customer controls are
implemented in the HMC, the SE, and the Active Energy Manager.
