The information in this topic helps you determine which of the two input ratings for the
PSM is suitable for various configurations. You determine suitability by subtracting the
total power draw from the maximum output of the PSM. Afterward, you calculate the
required input current. Finally, you calculate the thermal output.
We recommend that you provision power according to the maximum input current listed
in the power subsystem electrical specifications.
Use the following procedures to calculate the power requirement:
Calculate the power requirement.
1.
Evaluate the power budget.
2.
Calculate input power.
3.
Calculate thermal output (BTUs) for cooling requirements.
4.
To calculate the AC power requirements:
Calculate the power (usage) using the values, (see
1.
on page
373).
Evaluate the power budget, including the budget for each configuration if applicable,
2.
and check the required power against the maximum output power of available PDM
options.
Table 61 on page 377
lists the three-phase delta and wye feed requirements, maximum
input and output power per PSM, and power efficiency.
