Feature Description
Power Supply Units(PSU)
portfolio
Dell's PSU portfolio includes intelligent features such as dynamically optimizing efficiency while
maintaining availability and redundancy. Find additional information in the Power supply units
section.
Tools for right sizing Enterprise Infrastructure Planning Tool (EIPT) is a tool that can help you determine the most
efficient configuration possible. With Dell's EIPT, you can calculate the power consumption
of your hardware, power infrastructure, and storage at a given workload. Learn more at
www.dell.com/calc.
Industry Compliance Dell's servers are compliant with all relevant industry certifications and guide lines, including 80
PLUS, Climate Savers and ENERGY STAR.
Power monitoring accuracy
PSU power monitoring improvements include:
● Dell's power monitoring accuracy is currently 1%, whereas the industry standard is 5%
● More accurate reporting of power
● Better performance under a power cap
Power capping Use Dell's systems management to set the power cap limit for your systems to limit the output
of a PSU and reduce system power consumption. Dell is the first hardware vendor to leverage
Intel Node Manager for circuit-breaker fast capping.
Systems Management
iDRAC Enterprise and Datacenter provides server-level management that monitors, reports and
controls power consumption at the processor, memory and system level.
Dell OpenManage Power Center delivers group power management at the rack, row, and data
center level for servers, power distribution units, and uninterruptible power supplies.
Active power management
Intel Node Manager is an embedded technology that provides individual server-level power
reporting and power limiting functionality. Dell offers a complete power management solution
comprised of Intel Node Manager accessed through Dell iDRAC9 Datacenter and OpenManage
Power Center that allows policy-based management of power and thermal at the individual
server, rack, and data center level. Hot spare reduces power consumption of redundant power
supplies. Thermal control off a speed optimizes the thermal settings for your environment to
reduce fan consumption and lower system power consumption.
Idle power enables Dell servers to run as efficiently when idle as when at full workload.
Fresh Air cooling Refer to ASHRAE A3/A4 Thermal Restriction.
Rack infrastructure Dell offers some of the industry's highest-efficiency power infrastructure solutions, including:
● Power distribution units (PDUs)
