# BCM Power Shelf Integration

The NVIDIA GB200 server platforms use power shelves to distribute power in racks. Several power shelves are used per rack. Each power shelf takes up one rack unit. Each power shelf comprises several PSUs (Power Supply Units).

The reference design for an NVIDIA GB200 rack has 8 power shelves, and uses 6 PSUs in each power shelf. Each PSU is rated up to 5.5kW, so that each power shelf is rated up to 33kW.

This chapter primarily considers an NVIDIA GB200 server platform that has been configured to work with BCM, though BCM’s power shelf support also extends to other platform generations, as described in section [4.1](#41-the-vera-rubin-power-shelf).

## 4.1  The Vera Rubin Power Shelf

BCM also supports racks using the reference architecture (RA) Vera Rubin generation power shelf. From BCM’s perspective, the RA power shelf is discovered, monitored, and controlled identically to the GB200 power shelf described in this chapter: it appears as the same `powershelf` device kind, uses the same `list -t powershelf`, `powershelfoverview`, and rack-mode commands, and follows the same power sequencing. PSU counts are always discovered dynamically over Redfish rather than hardcoded, so the command examples shown throughout this chapter apply to RA racks without modification. Examples showing shelf counts or physical rack layout are GB200-specific, since those differ for RA (see the following list).

Physically, the RA power shelf differs from the GB200 power shelf as follows:

* 4 power shelves per rack, compared to 8 for GB200 — each RA power shelf delivers substantially more power, so fewer are needed.

* 6 PSUs per shelf, the same count as GB200.

* 3 rack units (3RU) in height, compared to 1RU for GB200.

* Rated up to 110kW output per shelf at 415VAC or higher input, compared to 33kW for GB200.

* 54V output voltage, compared to 50V for GB200.

* 3-phase PSU topology, compared to single phase for GB200.

The input voltage range (415-480VAC) and cooling method (air) are unchanged from GB200.

## 4.2  Power Shelf Listing And Overview

The `list -t powershelf` command in `device` mode can be used to list the power shelves of a configured cluster

Power shelves are configured as devices on an IPMI network, as indicated by the following example (some rows ellipsized):

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->device]% list -t powershelf
Type        Hostname (key)   MAC                IP          Network    Status
----------- ---------------- ------------------ ----------- ---------- ----------
PowerShelf  B05-P1-PWR-01    00:18:23:0C:1E:90  7.241.1.47  rfnet      [   UP   ]
...
PowerShelf  B05-P1-PWR-08    00:18:23:0C:1E:85  7.241.1.54  rfnet      [   UP   ]
PowerShelf  a05-p1-pwr-01    00:18:23:0C:1E:84  7.241.1.8   rfnet      [   UP   ]
...
PowerShelf  a05-p1-pwr-08    00:18:23:0C:1E:8F  7.241.1.80  rfnet      [   UP   ]
PowerShelf  b06-p1-pwr-01    00:18:23:0C:40:2A  7.241.1.55  rfnet      [   UP   ]
...
PowerShelf  b06-p1-pwr-08    00:18:23:0C:40:99  7.241.1.62  rfnet      [   UP   ]
```

The `powershelfoverview` command displays an overview of a particular power shelf, showing the measurements from its PSUs (6 in the following example):

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->device*[B05-P1-PWR-01]]% powershelfoverview
       Input  Input   Input     Rail  Rail    Rail                Fan

```

## 4.3  Power Shelves Networking Configuration

The network interface settings for a specific power shelf can be managed with its Redfish interface ([section 3.7.1 of the *Administrator Manual*](/admin/configuring#371-bmc-network-settings)). For example, a power shelf, here named `B05-P1-PWR-01`, can have the following values set with the `set` command:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->device[B05-P1-PWR-01]->interfaces[rf0]]% show
Parameter                        Value

```

Redfish metrics, which are the ones prefixed by `RF_` (as seen in section [12.8](/nvidia-mission-control/mcmetricshealthchecksactions#128-redfish-metrics-for-the-dgx-gb200)), are sampled only when the BMC interface starts with `rf0`, `rf1`, ...

## 4.4  Access Configuration For The Power Management Controller

Access to the Power Management Controller (PMC) is configured in the BMC settings:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->device[B05-P1-PWR-01]->bmcsettings]% show
Parameter                        Value
-------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------

Power reset delay                0s
Extra arguments
Privilege                        administrator
```

Authentication allows NVIDIA Mission Control to monitor the power shelves using Redfish sampling.

## 4.5  Power Shelf Settings Overview

An overview of the settings for a particular power shelf can be viewed with the `show` command:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->device[B05-P1-PWR-01]]% show
Parameter                        Value

## 4.6  Power Shelf Metrics Overview

A listing of the power shelf metrics can be seen with some grepping (the output for PSUs 2 to 5 have been ellipsized for readability in this manual):

```bash

The descriptions for these metrics are as indicated in table [12.4](/nvidia-mission-control/mcmetricshealthchecksactions#124-dgx-gb200-power-shelf-measurables).

## 4.7  Power Shelf Firmware

Power shelf firmware is managed by the `firmware` command options as described in [Section 14.5.3 of the *Administrator Manual*](/admin/administration#1453-updating-bios-and-firmware-versions).

BCM currently supports power shelf firmware updates for two vendors, Delta and Lite-On. Each power shelf, regardless of vendor, has two kinds of firmware components: a Power Management Controller (PMC), and several Power Supply Units (PSUs). Unlike DGX compute trays and NVLink switch trays, the device type `PowerShelf` on its own selects the correct firmware handling for a power shelf, so no separate `firmwaremanagemode` setting is needed.

Firmware files for both supported vendors are uploaded to the same directory on the head node:

`/cm/local/apps/cmd/etc/htdocs/bios/firmware/powershelf/`

Once uploaded, the `firmware info` command, run from `device` mode against a power shelf, lists the available firmware files and the components they apply to:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->device[B05-P1-PWR-01]]% firmware info
Component  Version  State      Size
---------- -------- ---------- --------
DeltaPMC   3.2.4    available  35MiB
```

The `firmware status` command shows the current version of each firmware component on the power shelf:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->device[B05-P1-PWR-01]]% firmware status
Component        Version   State
---------------- --------- --------
FW_ERoT_BMC_0    1203      current
FW_PMC_alt       3.2.4     current
FW_PMC_primary   3.2.4     current
FW_PSU_1         01050105  current
FW_PSU_2         01050105  current
FW_PSU_3         01050105  current
FW_PSU_4         01050105  current
FW_PSU_5         01050105  current
FW_PSU_6         01050105  current
```

Running `firmware flash` with a firmware file updates only the components that file applies to. The following example flashes a PMC firmware file, which updates only the PMC components, and leaves the power shelf’s PSUs alone:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->device[B05-P1-PWR-01]]% firmware flash nvidia-pmc-3.2.3.fwpkg
Device           Result
---------------- --------
B05-P1-PWR-01    good
```

The `--targets` option of `firmware flash` is not supported for power shelves, and updates are always carried out with the effect of the `--force` option, so the components in the uploaded file are always installed.

While flashing is in progress, `firmware status` shows the components being updated with a `flashing` state and a progress percentage. Only the PMC components in the following example are being updated by the flash just carried out; the PSUs are unaffected and remain `current`:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->device[B05-P1-PWR-01]]% firmware status
Component        State     Progress
---------------- --------- --------
FW_ERoT_BMC_0    current   N/A
FW_PSU_1         current   N/A
FW_PSU_2         current   N/A
FW_PSU_3         current   N/A
FW_PSU_4         current   N/A
FW_PSU_5         current   N/A
FW_PSU_6         current   N/A
FW_PMC_alt       flashing  10.0%
FW_PMC_primary   flashing  10.0%
```

Unlike DGX compute trays, power shelves activate new firmware automatically, without requiring a manual AC power cycle. However, `firmware status` does not reliably report progress once flashing passes approximately 60%, since the power shelf resets during activation. A `firmware status` command run during this window may briefly show a `failed` result with no further detail; this does not necessarily mean the update failed. Running `firmware status` again after a short wait confirms the new firmware version is shown as `current`.

Lite-On power shelves currently have a more limited firmware workflow than Delta power shelves. For Lite-On power shelves:

* PSUs must be updated one at a time rather than in a single `firmware flash` call.

* There is no indication of progress in the `Progress` column for firmware updates. What can be observed is that:

  * by default, the power shelf auto-activates new firmware immediately, and stops responding while activating

  * `firmware status` gives a response after the firmware has been updated

  Progress monitoring is expected to be addressed in a future release.

**Updating firmware on multiple power shelves in parallel:**

`firmware status` and `firmware flash` can also be run against several power shelves at once, from device mode, by combining the rack (`--rack`, or `-r`) and device type (`--type`, or `-t`) options with the intersection option (`--intersection`, or `-i`). This starts one background firmware process per device, rather than updating the shelves one at a time. The following example checks firmware status on every power shelf in rack `d03`:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->device]% firmware status -i -t powershelf -r d03
```

A `--dry-run` flash can be run the same way, across the same rack-wide selection, before committing to a real flash:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->device]% firmware flash nvidia-pmc-3.3.8-RELEASE.FOR.UPDATE.CEC-CFG.fwpkg --dry-run -i -t powershelf -r d03
```

This pattern is not specific to power shelves: any device grouping of the same hardware make, model, and part number can be targeted this way. For compute nodes and NVSwitches, category (`--category`, or `-c`) and node lists (`--nodes`, or `-n`) are typically used instead of rack and type.

## 4.8  Power Shelf Circuit Monitoring

A power circuit typically supplies several power shelves, based on the rated power of the circuit and power shelves. Administration and wiring convenience may also play a role in allocating a circuit to a power shelf.

So, for example, the administrator may configure a rack with 6 power shelves so that it is supplied power from one power circuit.

The power circuit breakers used by each power circuit, typically provided by a remote power panel (RPP), can have their locations noted for administrative convenience.

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->powercircuit]% list
Name (key) Row  Room   Building     Location    Racks
---------- ---- ------ ------------ ----------- -----
RPP-B12-3  1    G      Watchtower   Trantor
RPP-B14-3
RPP-B21-5
RPP-B21-6
RPP-B22-5
...
```

The cluster may have been set up to monitor the power circuit breaker for the power reaching BCM (section [3.3.1.1](/nvidia-mission-control/rackmanagement#3311-building-management-system-configuration)). In that case, the `overview` command typically displays the power consumption and current per phase.

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->powercircuit]% overview RPP-B14-3
                                Current  Current  Current   Current
Power circuit Power   Current   limit    phase 1  phase 2   phase 3   Racks
------------- ------- --------- -------- -------- --------- --------- -----
RPP-B14-3     15.6 KW 30.137 A  0 A      18.28 A  30.119 A  28.134 A  1
```

A value of 0 A means that the current limit is not reported.

## 4.9  Power Shelves And Rack Mode Commands

This section discusses some of the commands that can be useful for setting up and viewing devices from within the `rack` mode of `cmsh` ([section 3.16 of the *Administrator Manual*](/admin/configuring#316-managing-and-configuring-a-rack)), but with a focus on power shelf management.

### 4.9.1  The `list` Command

If the attributes of racks in `rack` mode have been set up in a meaningful way, then the `list` command can give useful information on how the power shelves in racks are organized:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->rack]% list
                  x-Coord-  y-Coord
Name (key)  Room  inate     inate  Height  Devices

The `help set` command describes how these values can be set.

In the preceding example, the administrator has noted that a rack, for example `A05`, is in a room `T`, and is at an (x,y) coordinate of (1,5) in that room.

The power shelf devices have also been given meaningful names: `a05-p1-pwr-01`, `a05-p1-pwr-02`..., which here has a prefix that is the rack it is in, and uses `pwr` to indicate it is a power shelf.

### 4.9.2  The `rackoverview` Command

The `rackoverview` command displays information about the types of entities in a rack. It also then lists some more detailed information about some of the entity types.

The power shelf is one of the types that has more detailed information listed (some output truncated and ellipsized, because this section is focussing on the power shelves):

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->rack]% rackoverview <TAB><TAB>

```

In the preceding, the A05 rack is seen to have some active power shelves, which show some power-related values.

### 4.9.3  The `display` Command

If the cluster administrator has recorded the device positions in the rack, then the `display` command in `rack` mode is useful for seeing the position of where power shelves are located in the rack:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->rack]% display |less -R
...
            A05                      B05

### 4.9.4  Power Management Of Racks

For devices in general, power operation commands are described in [Section 4.2 of the *Administrator Manual*](/admin/power#42-power-operations). Power status responses are described [here](/admin/power#4116-manageable-pdus-and-node-power-status).

Racks can take a while to power up through the configured sequence of components (power shelves, switches, nodes). The `BUSY` status can therefore be visible for a while. In this status, the power up operation can be cancelled.

A session showing power commands running on the racks of a DGX OS cluster may show output similar to the following:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->rack]% events off
Private events:   off
Broadcast events: off
[basecm11->rack]% power on -b nvl[001-016]
[basecm11->rack]% power status
post::powershelf ......... [  BUSY   ] nvl001
post::powershelf ......... [  BUSY   ] nvl002
post::powershelf ......... [  BUSY   ] nvl003
...
[basecm11->rack]% power status
post::switch ............. [  BUSY   ] nvl001
post::switch ............. [  BUSY   ] nvl002
post::switch ............. [  BUSY   ] nvl003
...
[basecm11->rack]% power cancel nvl001
Cancelled: 1 operations
[basecm11->rack]% power status
none ..................... [CANCELLED] nvl001
post::compute ............ [  BUSY   ] nvl002
post::compute ............ [  BUSY   ] nvl003
...
```

More details on power commands use in the `rack` mode of `cmsh` can be seen with:

**Example**

```bash
[basecm11->rack]% help power
Name:
          power - Manipulate the power state of rack

Usage:

          power [OPTIONS] on
          power [OPTIONS] off
          power [OPTIONS] cancel
          power [OPTIONS] status

Options:
          -b, --background
               Run in background, output will come as events

          -d, --delay <seconds>
               Wait <seconds> between executing two sequential power commands. This option is
               ignored for the status command

          -m, --mode <mode>
               Mode: full(default), domain(switch and compute tray), compute, emergency(off only)

          -w, --overview
               Create overview instead of individual rack list

          -f, --force
               Force power command on devices which have been closed or are reported as leaking

          --timeout <seconds>
               Maximal time to wait for all result to come in

          --message <message>
               An optional message saved to DB for on/off/reset operations

          --initial-wait-switch <seconds>
               Wait the specified time before switch power on after power shelves were found UP

          --initial-wait-node <seconds>
               Wait the specified time before node power on after swirches were found UP

          --maximal-redfish-wait <seconds>
               Maximal time to wait between power shelf power on and the redfish of switch/node becoming
               available

          --maximum-wait <seconds=30>
               Maximal time to wait between for devices to enter the correct state

Examples:
          power on rack01                Power on rack01
          power off -m compute rack01    Power off the compute tray in rack01
          power cancel                   Cancel all active rack power operations
          power cancel rack01            Cancel power operation on rack01
          power status                   Show status of all active power operations
```
