Depicts the allocated power and the calibrated maximum power of all devices mounted on the rack. This is not the current utilization of the rack mounted devices.

Allocated power is the total amount of power required by the contained equipment in the rack.

Capacity is the total derated power available to the rack. The lesser of the thermal limit or the derated power capacity delivered to the rack through all power delivery devices. If devices are redundantly powered, the total derated power capacity is divided by 2. If no power delivery is configured to the rack, the capacity is the total maximum power consumption of all resources in the rack.
