BladeSystem enclosure amperage now in Onboard Administrator v2.30
IT administrators have been able to track the power use per server through Insight Power Manager. But before the release of
Onboard Administrator v2.30, the only way to determine the power use for an enclosure was to calculate it as follows:
Single phase - Amps = watts/voltage
3-phase - Amps = watts/(voltage*1.74), where 1.74 is the 3-phase power factor
Now, through Power Meter in OA v2.30 (see Figure 1-1), users can track an enclosure's average power use on the upper
graph and choose to display the power cap and/or the minimum power by using the legend. The pull-down menu above the
graph allows users to view the graph in Watts, BTU/hr, or Amps. The lower two graphs show peak power for both sides of the
enclosure-defaulting to Amps-but changeable to BTU/hr or Watts.
OA does not have a voltage sensor. Therefore, the pull-down menu in the lower right corner allows users to change the voltage
applied in calculating the Amps. The lower left corner displays 24-hour average, peak, and minimum power readings.
