To assess the capacity of a rack to add additional servers:
1. View the current power consumption data and historical power consumption data for the servers.
2. Based on the data, power infrastructure and cooling system limitations, enable the power cap policy and set the
power cap values.
NOTE: It is recommended that you set a cap close to the peak, and then use that capped level to determine
how much capacity is remaining in the rack for adding more servers.

Cards in Single Host System Reboot
If you have multiple network cards in a server that is part of a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment and you want to
apply different virtual addresses, initiator and target configuration settings to those cards, use the I/O Identity
Optimization feature to reduce the time in configuring the settings. To do this:
1. Make sure that BIOS, iDRAC, and the network cards are updated to the latest firmware version.
2. Enable IO Identity Optimization.
3. Export the XML configuration file from iDRAC.
4. Edit the I/O Identity optimization settings in the XML file.
5. Import the XML configuration file to iDRAC.
