Power requirements and consumption
There are
4
x
1600
W redundant power supplies. The power supplies can accept either
110
V
(ac) or
240
V (ac) at
10
A. If one of the power supplies fails at
110
V, it will continue to run on
the remaining three supplies. For a
240
V connection, up to two power supplies may fail and
the system can still run with full load.
The maximum power consumption with all system resources under full load is
2800
W (at an
ambient temperature of
35
◦
C). Idle power consumption is
350
W (at an ambient temperature
of
25
