Power Supplies
Click the Power Supplies object to manage your system’s power supplies.
Server Administrator monitors power supply status, including redundancy,
to ensure that each power supply present in your system is functioning
properly. The Power Supplies object action window can have the following
tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and Alert
Management.
NOTE: Power Supply Monitoring and Power Monitoring features are available only
for systems that have two or more redundant, hot-swappable power supplies
installed. These features are unavailable for permanently installed, non-redundant
power supplies that lack power management circuitry.
Properties
Subtab: Elements
Under the Properties tab, you can:
• View information about your power supply redundancy attributes.
• Check the status of individual power supply elements, including the
Firmware Version of the power supply, Rated Input Wattage, and
Maximum Output Wattage. The Rated Input Wattage attribute is
displayed only on PMBus systems starting
xx1x.
Alert Management
Subtabs: Alert Actions | SNMP Traps
Under the Alert Management tab, you can:
• View current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want
to be performed in the event that a system power returns a warning or
failure value.
• Configure Platform Event Alert destinations for IPv6 addresses.
• View current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels
for system power watts. The selected traps are triggered if the system
generates a corresponding event at the selected severity level.
NOTE: The System Peak Power trap generates events only for informational
severity.
