Visualising rack power distribution

 

ONEDC provides tools to help you visualise and manage the anticipated power distribution and balancing in your racks.

IMPORTANT! Please note that the visualisation tools act as a simulation only and the actual data in the Overview panel should always take priority.

The rack visualisation shows:

Power connection information

Rack overview

Estimated power usage

ONEDC shows devices connected to two power rails as green, indicating they have redundant power supplies.

Items in Orange only have a single power supply and those in Red are not connected to any power supply.


Note: This is simulated only. You must connect the devices to the power rails in the physical rack in real life.

The Rack Overview section shows the actual power for your racks along with temperature and humidity from row based sensors.

 

 

IMPORTANT! Estimated Power is an “estimate” only based on the nameplate power of each unit
capacity of the devices installed in the rack. It is not real-time power information.

Often the estimated power will be higher than actual power unless you are running your infrastructure at 100%.

 

 

You can:

Action

Information

Create a power rail
  1. Open the rack visualisation to show the rack information.
  2. In the Estimated Power area, click Create Power Rail.
  3. Enter the requested information.
    Click Save to save the power rail or click Cancel to quit without saving.
  4. ONEDC creates the power rail and updates the Estimated Power for any devices that are connected to this power rail. No devices will be shown immediately after creation as they still need to be connected to the power rail.

Delete a power rail

NOTE: Deleting a power rail will virtually disconnect all devices currently plugged into the power rail. No actual disconnection will occur in real life.

  1. Select the power rail to delete.
  2. Click Delete.
  3. Click Confirm to delete the power rail or click Cancel to quit without saving.
    This action cannot be undone.
  4. ONEDC deletes the power rail.

Generate a power outage simulation report

To show which devices will no longer receive power if a specific power rail goes offline.
