Power capping

To configure the power capping policy, use the information in this topic.

Power capping allows users to set a wattage limit on power consumption. When applied on individual node, the node power consumption is capped at assigned level and when applied on enclosure, the whole enclosure power consumption is capped.

You can choose one of the following power capping types:

  • Enclosure Power Capping

  • Node Power Capping

Total Power Capacity is being calculated based on power redundancy mode and number of PCS’s installed in the system. The manual setting of maximum power limit can be over the actual power capacity.

When power capping is enabled, the system may be throttled in order to maintain the power limit. You can choose to enable or disable the power capping function. By clicking the pencil icon, you can change the power capping value. Input the value in the input box, ensure that the input value must be within the specific range.

Click Save after making the configuration changes.
