Configuring power management options
Use Power Management Options to configure HP Insight Control power management settings and display
options.
With the Power Management Options you can:
•
Enable or disable HP Insight Control power management capabilities on managed systems. If disabled,
power data will not be gathered. This setting is global.
•
Provide sign-in credentials for iLOs through either HP Systems Insight Manager Global Credentials (if
all iLOs use a common set of credentials) or HP Systems Insight Manager System Credentials.
•
Configure a designated time range to keep historical data. The data is deleted automatically after the
specified time has elapsed. This setting is global.
•
Specify the default electrical derating percentage required by your local electrical code. This setting is
global.
•
Indicate whether to display temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. This setting is user specific.
•
Indicate whether to display power consumption in watts or Btu/hr. This setting is user specific.
To configure power management options:
1. Click Options

•
Cost of Power per kWh. Enter the average cost of power per kilowatt-hour. This calculates the
cost of operation for the system and cooling. For ease of data entry, only one field is provided.
Use the Export option in the Power Regulator Actions section of the graphs if more cost analysis
is required. This field is used to calculate the cost and annual cost of operation for the system and
cooling.
•
Currency Type. Enter the currency type. This option controls the display of cost information in the
Analysis section of graphs. The default value is USD. You can specify $, EUR, €, GBP, £, ITL, £,
JPY, ¥ or any other printable character set.
•
Cooling Multiplier. Enter a cooling multiplier. This value represents the relative cost of cooling
the system compared to the cost of powering the system. The default value of 1.5 indicates that it
costs 1.5 as much to cool the system as it does to power the system. This value is multiplied by the
