I'm trying to configure Energy Efficiency and I'd like to know what means the errors showed when try to evaluate the Energy System. I found two different errors:

"Invalid configuration for subsystem Critical Power Distribution"

"Critical power distribution must be present, measured and connected to UPS or Switchgear"

Best regards,

Dear Enric,

The system needs a minimum energy system configuration to provide you with a calculated PUE/DCiE value. An energy system must at least include:

• Switchgear
• Energy Efficiency properties set on the switchgear and PDU
• A PDU connected to the switchgear
• A script configured on the PDU
• IT load properties set to include measured calculation source
• Derate Capacity must be >0

                  The below post which describes the tips for configuring Energy Efficiency.
