Managing rack density

Suppose two servers are installed in a rack. To add two additional servers, need to determine how much capacity is left in the rack.

To assess the capacity of a rack to add additional servers:

  1. View the current power consumption data and historical power consumption data for the servers.
  2. Based on the data, power infrastructure and cooling system limitations, enable the power cap policy and set the power cap values.
    • NOTE: It is recommended that you set a cap close to the peak, and then use that capped level to determine how much capacity is remaining in the rack for adding more servers.
