    The HPE ProLiant DX family of products provides a power capping feature that operates at the server enclosure (chassis) level. The capping feature can be activated using the HPE Apollo Platform Manager. After a power cap is set for the enclosure all the resident servers in the enclosure will have the same uniform power cap applied to them until the cap is either modified or canceled.

  • Page 27: Configuring A Power Cap

    In this mode, the system is expected to survive an unexpected loss of an entire power feed to half of the power supplies. Configuring a power cap To configure power capping, use the HPE Apollo Platform Manager. For more information, see the HPE Apollo Platform Manager User Guide (https://www.hpe.com/support/APM_UG_en).
