Setting the chassis power cap mode with the PPIC utility

1. Download and install the ProLiant Power Interface Control Utility from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website.
2. Log in to the node , and then run the PPIC utility.
3. To set the power capacity mode, perform one of the following steps:
• To set mode 0, 1, and 2, enter the following command at the prompt:
-s -mmode
The following example sets the power capacity to mode 0:
-s -m0
• To set mode 3, enter the following command at the prompt:
-s -mmode -lpower
The following example sets the power capacity to mode 3 with a 1500W maximum power limit:
-s -m3 -l1500
Power capping modes show the valid values for mode. Power is required when setting Power Control
Configuration to User Configurable.
For more information, see the ProLiant Power Interface Control (PPIC) Utility User Guide on the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise website.

Setting the chassis power cap mode with HPE APM

1. Log in to APM:
a. When the system boots, a Login prompt appears.
b. At the prompt, enter Administrator.
2. Before setting the power cap, enter the following command to review the power baseline:>show power
baseline
The information displayed provides the minimum cap value, the maximum cap value, and the chassis that
meet the requirements for power capping.
3. To set the power cap for eligible chassis connected to the APM, enter the following command at the
prompt:>SET POWER CAP<wattage>|NONE[zone_name]
The wattage value, if provided, represents the total wattage to be allocated among all the chassis that are
part of the baseline or partial baseline of a zone, if specified. This value is divided by the total maximum
wattage established by the baseline to calculate a percentage cap value. This percentage is then
multiplied against each chassis maximum wattage value to arrive at an appropriate cap value for that
individual chassis.
If NONE is specified instead of a cap wattage value, then APM removes all (or the specified zone) of the
power caps.
To remove baseline data from the EEPROM and to remove the power cap setting, enter the following
command:
>SET POWER BASELINE NONE
After this command is issued, the only way to re-establish a power baseline is to issue the SET POWER
BASELINE command. The system returns to the default power cap mode (mode 1).
