Hot-plug power supply calculations

For hot-plug power supply specifications and calculators to determine electrical and heat loading for the
server, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Power Advisor website (http://www.hpe.com/info/

Power capping

The HPE ProLiant XL family of products provides a power capping feature that operates at the server
enclosure level. The capping feature can be activated with PPIC.EXE, a stand-alone utility that runs in the
environment of one of the resident servers in the chassis to be power capped. 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.
With HPE APM, the enclosure-level power capping feature can be expanded without the need to use the
PPIC.EXE utility. A global power cap can be applied to all enclosures with one HPE APM command, or
different caps can be applied to user-defined groups by using flexible zones within the same rack.

Power capping modes

The following Power Management modes are standard and are configurable in the power management
controller:
