152 IBM Flex System p260 and p460 Planning and Implementation Guide
Active Energy Manager uses agent-less technology, so no agents must be
installed on the endpoints.
Monitoring and management functions apply to all IBM systems that are enabled
for IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager.
򐂰 Monitoring functions include power trending, thermal trending, IBM and
non-IBM PDU support, support for facility providers, energy thresholds, and
altitude input.
򐂰 Management functions include power capping and power savings mode.
Active Energy Manager also provides a source of energy management data that
can be used by Tivoli enterprise solutions, such as IBM Tivoli Monitoring. For

5.7.3 Supported environment
The p260 and p460 and the Enterprise Chassis comply with ASHRAE Class
A3 specifications.
Here are the specifications for the supported operating environment:
򐂰 5 - 40 °C (41 - 104 °F) at 0 - 914 m (0 - 3,000 ft)
򐂰 5 - 28 °C (41 - 82 °F) at 914 - 3,050 m (3,000 - 10,000 ft)
򐂰 Relative humidity: 8 - 85%
򐂰 Maximum altitude: 3,050 m (10,000 ft)
5.8 Planning for virtualization
The new Power Systems compute nodes provide features available in high-end
POWER servers, such as virtualization, when connected to the IBM Flex System
Manager. You can use virtualization to create and manage virtual servers and
take full advantage of the PowerVM virtualization features, such as IBM
Micro-Partitioning®, AMS, NPIV, and Live Partition Mobility.
To partition your Power Systems compute node, it must be attached to the IBM
Flex System Manager. The process for connecting your Power Systems
compute node to both nodes is described in 7.1.3, “Preparing to use the IBM Flex
System Manager for partitioning” on page 284.
