Enclosure power management
Power management planning
The power enclosures each contain six power supplies, which are monitored directly by Onboard
Administrator. Up to two power supply enclosures can be connected to a single enclosure.
Onboard Administrator is responsible for calculating the redundancy status, total available power, and total
power consumed. This information is displayed to the user and is used to manage power resources. The
Onboard Administrator power subsystem displays include status and information for each power supply, as
well as the power enclosure itself.
Also included in the power fault realm is control of the electronic fuses between the power backplane and the
server or switch bays. The Onboard Administrator will alert on fuse trips to enable you to reset fuses
manually.
When installing additional power supplies into the enclosure, different power supply part numbers are not
supported in the same enclosure. Onboard Administrator warns which power supplies must be replaced with
a caution icon.
NOTE: HP 1200W Common Slot Silver Hot Plug Power Supplies, spare part numbers
441830-001 and 498152-001 can be combined in an enclosure and are treated as equivalent
for the purposes of power supply mixing.
For proper installation of the power supplies into the enclosure, see the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure
Setup and Installation Guide.
