What is ENERGY STAR?
(cid:131) ENERGY STAR is a program developed by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce energy
consumption
(cid:131) Voluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote
energy efficient products
(cid:131) Computer servers that earn EPA’s ENERGY STAR include:
– Efficient power supplies that have smaller conversion losses
and generate less waste heat,
– Capabilities to measure real time power use
– Advanced power management features
– Power and Performance Data Sheet
(cid:131) Power 750 Express and Power 755 are the first RISC or
Itanium ENERGY STAR-qualified server

TPMD: Thermal Power Management Device
TPMD card is part of the base hardware configuration.
Residing on the processor planar
TPMD function is comprised of a risk processor and data acquisition
TPMD monitor power usage and temperatures in real time
Responsible for thermal protection of the processor cards
Can adjust the processor power and performance in real time.
If the temperature exceeds an upper (functional) threshold, TPMD
actively reduces power consumption by reducing processor voltage
and frequency or throttling memory as needed.
If the temperature is lower than upper (functional) threshold, TPMD will
allows POWER7 cores to “Over clock” if workloads demands are
present.
