Intel® Cloud Builders Guide: Dell* OpenManage* Power Center
In our test bed, we will use 6,000W for the critical wattage consumption – this is the limit as derived from our circuit. To calculate the
wattage, we use Ohm’s Law: Watts = Volts x Amps.
Power Threshold Determination
• In the test bed scenario we have 200V x 30A = 6,000 Watts which is our critical threshold.
• The warning threshold is based on exceeding 90 percent utilization of the circuit, and 5,500W is approximately 92 percent
utilization.
Temperate Threshold Determination
• For temperature thresholds, we used a generalization around the test bed data center, the average temperature as measured is
approximately 68F.
• We established a warning threshold of 75F, and a critical threshold of 80F.
• Conversely, if the room is too cool, we have lower limits listed as well at 60F for warning, and 55F as critical.
These thresholds will establish boundaries for the use cases and can visibly be seen in the upcoming displays in this section.
Critical and Warning Events
Select the EVENTS tab and you can see the warnings for the systems inside that rack. Note that for the test bed, we’ve created some
scenarios to generate events for visualization in this document.
