Power Management Setup Guide
Power Management is policy-driven software for distributed environments. Built on IBM® BigFix technology, it allows you to apply conservation policies infrastructure-wide, while providing the granularity to apply power management policies to a single computer.

Manage Assumptions

Manage Assumptions

IBM Endpoint Manager calculates power consumption by measuring the amount of time a computer spends in Active, Idle, Standby, and Off power states, and factoring in assumptions for hardware power draw and endpoint cost per kWh. Power Management uses default values based on experience and research with typical computers manufactured in the last few years and average CO2 and electricity costs. You can choose the default values or you can override them with known values specific to your computers and costs.

You use the Manage Assumptions dashboard for customizing your deployment through assumptions. The Manage Assumptions dashboard can be found in the navigation tree under Setup and Configuration/Manage Assumptions/Manage Custom Assumptions Tasks.

Note: Managing Assumptions is an optional feature in IBM Endpoint Manager Power Management. If you do not set custom assumptions, default assumptions are used.
