Guidelines
Unless operating with two 750W power supplies (three for N+1 redundancy) at
220V, it may be necessary to make tradeoffs with respect to which options can
be added and powered with the installed power supplies. Use the following
guidelines when evaluating these tradeoffs.
NOTE
: The following guidelines are general. Use the Windows NT Power
Supply Viewer Utility and option documentation to obtain the most accurate
power capacity and assessment of power margin.
■
Comparing processor and hard drive power: two processors draw as
much current as five to six hard drives.
■
Comparing memory and 3.3V-powered PCI Expansion Board power:
each additional 512 MB draws approximately as much current as one to
two PCI boards.
■
Comparing hard drive and 5V-powered PCI Expansion Board Power:
one PCI card draws as much current as two to five hard drives.
■
In general, PCI array controllers draw more current than PCI NICs.
For example, if the available capacity of the installed power supplies permits
adding two processors, you can choose to add:
■
two processors
■
one processor and three hard drives
■
up to six hard drives
Warranty
■
Three-Year Parts, Labor, and On-Site Limited Warranty
■
Pre-failure warranty on processors, memory, and hard drives
