AC Power Consumption
The HP 9000 rp7440 Server power consumption will vary greatly depending on the hardware
configuration and the input line voltages supplied at customer sites. Because of the disparity of line
voltages throughout the world it's best to represent power consumption in VA (Volt Amperes). With power
consumption being of high concern throughout the world, it's necessary to specify consumption in a
couple of different ways.
Maximum Theoretical Power
Maximum Theoretical Power
Maximum Theoretical Power
Maximum Theoretical Power or "Maximum Configuration" (input power at the AC input expressed
as volt amps to take into account power factor correction)-The calculated sum of the maximum
worst case power consumption for every subsystem in the server. This number will never be
exceeded by a functioning server for any combination of hardware and software under any
conditions.
Marked Electrical Power
Marked Electrical Power
Marked Electrical Power
Marked Electrical Power (input power at the AC input expressed as volt amps)-The server Marked
Electrical Power is the rating given on the chassis label and represents the input power required for
facility AC power planning and wiring requirements. This number represents the expected
maximum power consumption for the server based on the power rating of the bulk power supplies.
This number can safely be used to size AC circuits and breakers for the system under all
conditions.
Typical Maximum Power
Typical Maximum Power
Typical Maximum Power
Typical Maximum Power, User Expected Maximum Power, or "Typical Configuration" (expressed
as volt amps)-The measured maximum worst case power consumption. This number represents the
larges power consumption that HP engineers were able to produce for the server with any
combination of hardware under laboratory conditions using aggressive software applications
designed specifically to work the system at maximum load. This number can safely be used to
compute thermal loads and power consumption for the system under all conditions.
For further power consumption details, see the HP 9000 rp7440 Installation manual.
