Viewing Power Budget

The server provides power budget status overviews of the power subsystem on
the Power Budget Information page.

Using the Web Interface

NOTE:
To perform power management actions, you must have Administrative
privilege.
1 Log in to the iDRAC6 Web-based interface.
2 Click the Power tab.
3 Select the Power Budget option.
4 The Power Budget Information page displays.
The first table displays the minimum and maximum limits of user-specified
power capping thresholds for the current system configuration. These
represent the range of AC power consumptions you may set as the system
cap. Once selected, this cap would be the maximum AC power load that the
system could place upon the datacenter.
System Minimum Power Consumption displays the default lowest power cap
value.
System Maximum Power Consumption displays the default highest Power
Cap value. This is also the current system configuration's absolute maximum
power consumption.
