Chapter 10 PUE Manager Menu
This chapter expounds how to use the PUE Manager menu. The PUE Manager menu allows you to query the
real-time PUE data, configure the PUE parameters of the sites, and query the historical PUE report of the sites.
10.1 PUE Configuration
PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) is an index used to evaluate the power effectiveness of data center, and it is the
quotient of dividing the total consumed power of the data center by the used power of the IT loads, that is, PUE =
total consumed power of the data center / consumed power of the IT loads. PUE is a ratio, and its benchmark is 2.
The closer it approaches 1, the better the power effectiveness is.
10.1.1 Start PUE Statistics
1. Click the PUE Configuration under PUE Manager menu in the menu area, the PUE Configuration page will
appear, as shown in Figure 10-1.
Figure 10-1
PUE Configuration page
2. On the PUE Configuration page, first select Stop PUE Sta., Power Energy Model or Power Model Storage (also
need to select Cycle) to start the PUE statistics. After that, you can add, delete PUE group, and configure device
energy collection. If Power Energy Model or Power Model Storage is selected, a Power Consumption tab will
appear on the site view page, refer to 5.1.6 Viewing PUE Statistic for details.
z Stop PUE Sta.: Not to do power consumption statistic. The Power Consumption tab will not appear on the site
view page.
z Power Energy Model: According to the obtained accumulated power consumption of the devices in the
machine room, calculate the PUE value of the machine room, and reflect the power consumption of the
machine room in a certain time.
z Power Model Storage: According to the load condition of the devices in the machine room at each time point,
calculate the instantaneous PUE value of the machine room, and reflect the power consumption change of the
machine room at each time point.
The relationships of the three PUE groups (Total Power Consumption, IT Power Consumption,
Infrastructure/Facility Power Consumption) are as follows:
1. When Total Power Consumption, IT Power Consumption and Infrastructure/Facility Power Consumption are
configured, other power = Total Power Consumption – (IT Power Consumption + Infrastructure/Facility Power
Consumption);
RDU-M RDU Manager User Manual
Chapter 10
PUE Manager Menu
103
2. When Total Power Consumption and IT Power Consumption are configured, Infrastructure/Facility Power
Consumption = Total Power Consumption – IT Power Consumption;
3. When IT Power Consumption and Infrastructure/Facility Power Consumption are configured, Total Power
Consumption = IT Power Consumption + Infrastructure/Facility Power Consumption;
4. When Total Power Consumption and Infrastructure/Facility Power Consumption are configured, IT Power
Consumption = Total Power Consumption – Infrastructure/Facility Power Consumption.
10.1.2 Add, Delete PUE Group
You can add new PUE groups in the Infrastructure/Facility Power Consumption group, as described below:
1. Click the Add PUE Group button in the PUE configuration page, and the page shown in Figure 10-2 appears.

electric energy in a statistic cycle.
z When ammeters are installed, select Automatic, select an ammeter in the drop-down box, and set the
measuring range of the ammeter.
3. Click the Save button to complete the configuration of device energy collection.
Note
For devices of the same kind, when some devices are connected with an AMM, while others are not, you can perform energy
statistic by using both By manual and Automatic at the same time. For example, there are ten lamps in the machine room,
among which, seven lamps are connected with an AMM, so you can get energy statistic through the AMM; the rest three lamps
are not connected with any AMM, so you can type the energy within a statistic cycle manually.
