This mode enables you to set a power capping value for the server or a server node to
adjust the power distribution of the cabinet or equipment room. User configuration
modes are classified into the following types:
−
User-defined server power capping:
You can enable the power capping function for a server using the iBMC CLI and set
the power capping value as required. After the configuration is successful, the
power of the server does not exceed the configured power.
−
User-defined server node power capping:
You can enable the power capping function for a server node on the iBMC WebUI
and set the power capping value as required. After the configuration is successful,
the power of the server node does not exceed the configured power.
⚫
MSPP and user-defined power capping cannot be enabled together.
⚫
Before using the MSPP or user-defined power capping mode, enable EIST on the BIOS. For details,
see
FusionServer X6000 Server iBMC User Guide
.
⚫
For details about how to configure the power capping mode, see
FusionServer X6000 Server iBMC
User Guide
.
When different number of PSUs are configured, the system automatically enables the MSPP
or user-defined power capping mode based on the rated power of the server and that of the
PSUs. For details, see Table 3-2.

User-defined power capping disabled
Single PSU ≤ Server
⚫
MSPP enabled (triggered by a single
PSU failure)

two PSUs)
⚫
User-defined power capping disabled
3 PSUs ≤ Server

After modifying the configuration or adding optional components, you need to recalculate the total
power of the server to check whether the current PSUs meet the requirements of the new system.
