900W power supply specifications:

򐂰

Supports dual-range voltage: 100 - 240 V

򐂰

100 - 127 (nominal) V AC; 50 or 60 Hz; 6.8 A (maximum)

򐂰

200 - 240 (nominal) V AC; 50 or 60 Hz; 5.0 A (maximum) 

1300W power supply specifications:

򐂰

Supports high-range voltage only: 200 - 240 V 

򐂰

200 - 240 (nominal) V AC; 50 or 60 Hz; 6.9 A (maximum) 

The location and numbering of the power supplies are shown in Figure 3-6.

Figure 3-6   IBM NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure rear view with power supply numbering

The power supplies that are used in IBM NeXtScale System are hot-swap, 
high-efficiency 80 PLUS Platinum power supplies that are operating at 94% 
efficiency. The efficiency varies by load, as shown in Table 3-10. The 80 PLUS 
report is available at this website:
