NOTE: All devices are displayed on this page, but you only can configure priority
for the devices that have Monitor & Capping power capability.
NOTE: You can set priority levels based on the service level agreements
associated with workloads running on different devices/groups. P

reserves more of the power for the devices/groups with a higher priority when the
power cap is not completely utilized.

Bound value as the power cap for each device by default. You can enter a
different value (Power Cap Value or Percentage of Capability), and click
Next
.
NOTE:
If the sum of the entered device power cap is higher than the power cap value
set in the previous step, Power Center will change the Power Cap Value and display a
