NOTE: The omreport chassis pwrmonitoring or omreport mainsystem pwrmonitoring command is applicable from PowerEdge 
10G system onwards that support PMBus and that have hot-swappable power supplies and not systems that have a xed, non-
redundant power supply installed.
NOTE: Power monitoring requires license to report the details. If the appropriate license is not installed or has expired, the 
system does not display the power consumption details of the system. For more information, see the 
Dell License Manager 
at 
Guide dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
NOTE: To maintain consistency across the commands, the output format of this command and the subsequent command levels 
has changed. So, you may have to change the user scripts as applicable.
An example output reporting power statistics in Watts is as follows:
