422A/0697ECG WHITE PAPER (cont.) ... List of Performance Counters The following table provides a list of the performance health counters available for the power supply, and a description of each. TABLE 2 POWER SUPPLY PERFORMANCE COUNTERS COUNTER DESCRIPTION %12V channel power capacity Percentage of power capacity currently used on the 12V channel %5V channel power capacity Percentage of power capacity currently used on the 5V channel %3V channel power capacity Percentage of power capacity currently used on the 3V channel % Power capacity Percentage of total power capacity currently being used % Temperature threshold Percentage of temperature limit reached 12V channel current (mA) Total output current on the 12V channel 12V channel power (mW) Total output power on the 12V channel 12V channel voltage (mV) Total output voltage on the 12V channel 5V channel current (mA) Total output current on the 5V channel 5V channel power (mW) Total output power on the 5V channel 5V channel voltage (mV) Total output voltage on the 5V channel 3V channel current (mA) Total output current on the 3V channel 3V channel power (mW) Total output power on the 3V channel 3V channel voltage (mV) Total output voltage on the 3V channel Line voltage (mV) AC incoming voltage Power (mW) Total power consumption Redundancy Indicates whether or not the power supplies are redundant Temperature (Celsius) Temperature of the power supply in Celsius Temperature (Fahrenheit) Temperature of the power supply in Fahrenheit HOW TO DETERMINE POWER CONSUMPTION The ProLiant hot-pluggable redundant power supply 750/500 watts N+1 with support for up to three units per system allows a 240V or 120V AC input, and provides three primary output channels: 3V, 5V and 12V. The primary channels we are concerned with are 12V and 5V, since most Compaq-provided options operate on either the 12V or 5V channels (see Table 3). The product of the current (amp) multiplied by the voltage yields the amount of power being consumed. Table 3 represents current (amp) consumption for each component mentioned. It can be used to help identify how the addition of a component affects a server, see the following examples: Example 1: Effects of Adding a Network Interface Controller A Netelligent 10/100TX PCI network interface controller consumes power on the 5V channel only, so adding one network controller to a server will only affect power on the 5V channel. This controller consumes .84 amps under typical load conditions, adding one will 7
