Configuring the Power Policy
Power Policy
The power policy is a global policy that specifies the redundancy for power supplies in all chassis in the Cisco
UCS domain. This policy is also known as the PSU policy.
For more information about power supply redundancy, see Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Hardware
Installation Guide.
Configuring the Power Policy
Procedure
Step 1
In the Navigation pane, click the Equipment tab.
Step 2
On the Equipment tab, click the Equipment node.
Step 3
In the Work pane, click the Policies tab.
Step 4
Click the Global Policies subtab.
Step 5
In the Power Policy area, click one of the following radio buttons in the Redundancy field:
• Non Redundant—All installed power supplies are turned on and the load is evenly balanced. Only
smaller configurations (requiring less than 2500W) can be powered by a single power supply.
• n+1—The total number of power supplies to satisfy non-redundancy, plus one additional power supply
for redundancy, are turned on and equally share the power load for the chassis. If any additional power
supplies are installed, Cisco UCS Manager sets them to a "turned-off" state.
• Grid—Two power sources are turned on, or the chassis requires greater than N+1 redundancy. If one
source fails (which causes a loss of power to one or two power supplies), the surviving power supplies
on the other power circuit continue to provide power to the chassis.
For more information about power supply redundancy, see Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Hardware
Installation Guide.

Configuring the Global Cap Policy
Global Cap Policy
The global cap policy is a global policy that specifies whether policy-driven chassis group power capping or
manual blade-level power capping will be applied to all servers in a chassis.
We recommend that you use the default power capping method: policy-driven chassis group power capping.
