the power supply number.
–
Ty p e displays the type of power supply, such as AC or DC (AC-to-DC
or DC-to-DC voltage conversion).
–
Input Wattage displays the input wattage of the power supply, which
is the maximum AC power load that the system could place on the
datacenter.
–
Max Wattage displays the maximum wattage of the power supply,
which is the DC power available to the system. This value is used to
confirm that sufficient power supply capacity is available for the
system configuration.
–
Online Status indicates the power state of the power supplies: present
and OK, input lost, absent, or predictive failure.
–
FW Version displays the firmware version of the power supply.
NOTE: The Max Wattage is different than Input Wattage because of the
power supply efficiency. For example, if the efficiency of the power supply is
89% and Max Wattage is 717W, the Input Wattage is estimated at 797W.
