Power consumption in SM boards X8 - X10

[erwinvr]

hi all,

I have some doubts about the power consumption in SM boards.
I see in many pictures like this the power consumption with history option

I have x8sil-f, x10slm-f, x10sl7-f, with "generics" no brand psu. No one shows the power consumption at the ipmi web, why? the feature is only available with branded or high end server psus?

i use alot the android IPMI app, but when i go to the power supply option in the three options shows error PMBUS, FRU, BBP.

Also google pmbus, fru, bbp, but those are standards in psu? mobo? Really confused.

Yeah, it's the PSU who have the sensors inside :)

Some people say @Bidule0hm can detect power consumption by just waving his hand near a server.
