Power Monitoring and Management 295Using RACADMracadm config -g cfgServerPower -ocfgServerPowerCapWatts <power cap value in Watts>racadm config -g cfgServerPower -ocfgServerPowerCapBTUhr <power cap value in BTU/hr>racadm config -g cfgServerPower -ocfgServerPowerCapPercent cap value in % >racadm config -g cfgServerPower -ocfgServerPowerCapEnable=<1 to enable, 0 to disable>NOTE: When setting the power budget threshold in BTU/hr, the conversion toWatts is rounded to the nearest integer. When reading the power budget thresholdback, the Watts to BTU/hr conversion is again rounded in this manner. As a result,the value written could be nominally different than the value read; for example, athreshold set to 600 BTU/hr will be read back as 601 BTU/hr.Viewing Power MonitoringUsing the Web InterfaceTo view the power monitoring data:1 Log in to the iDRAC6 Web interface.2 Select Power Monitoring in the system tree.
