Total System Power Consumption
The following tables contain minimum and maximum power consumption for the 1.1 and 1.3 GHz pSeries
690. Minimum power consumption is based on a configuration consisting of a single 4 GB memory card, 1
PCI card per I/O subsystem, and 1 DASD device per I/O subsystem.
Maximum power consumption is based on a configuration consisting of two 32 GB memory cards per
MCM module, maximum PCI cards (20 per I/O drawer), and maximum DASD (16 per I/O drawer).
Power consumption calculations are estimates. Actual values may vary.
Calculate heat load (Btu per hour) by multiplying the power (in watts) for the configuration by a factor of
3.4.
Note: Certain system configurations only support a maximum number of I/O drawers. If a system does not
support a particular count of I/O drawers, it is indicated with "N/A".
