To set the power cap for eligible chassis connected to the HP APM, enter the following command at the
3.
prompt:
>SET POWER CAP<wattage>|NONE[zone_name]
The wattage value, if provided, represents the total wattage to be allocated among all the chassis that
are part of the baseline or partial baseline of a zone, if specified. This value is divided by the total
maximum wattage established by the baseline to calculate a percentage cap value. This percentage is
then multiplied against each chassis maximum wattage value to arrive at an appropriate cap value for
that individual chassis.
