How to measure the PUE (in DCO) using PM3250 power meter?

[DCIM_Support]

The costumer's datacenter has installed a DCE. We have installed a PM3250 power meter to know the TOTAL consumption of datacenter. Through a TSXETG100 gateway, we have integrated the PM3250 power meter into DCE.

We'll install a DCO.

How to measure (in DCO) the PUE using the PM3250 values (today in DCE) and the measure of IT load in UPS's?

Thank you.

Hi Roberto,

How are you planning to evaluate the PUE? Using standard PUE tool integrated with DCO or do you have EE + EC License? PUE evaluation can be much complicated than just integrating meters, however, it's essential to know the capture points; the more valid points you capture, the accurate your PUE gets.

I would suggest you to consider Rack PDUs or BCM, whatever you have to measure the IT load, as closer to the load as possible, over the UPS for more accuracy. Knowing the customer's infrastructure, you will need to determine the losses at each point to evaluate this metric. Please go through the guidelines mentioned in thes White paper & Links to help you with evaluating the PUE:

Configuring the PUE DCiE

For EE License: Energy System Configuration

I hope this helps.

Hi Aniruddha:

We'll use standard PUE tool integrated with DCO. We haven't EE+EC License.

The rPDU's are Basic, no metered.

It's possible to evaluate the PUE in this conditions (using PM3250 power meter to evaluate the TOTAL Power and in the UPS's to the IT Load)  with DCO?

Thanks.
