Power And Air Conditioning Requirements - HP XW9400 Hardware Setup Manual

Power and Air Conditioning Requirements

The values for power consumption and heat output were recorded on an
Autodesk certified system with all of the required peripherals and certified
components.
NOTE These values can fluctuate if uncertified hardware components or third
party applications are added to your system. The use of uncertified hardware
components or third party applications is not supported. Please consult the
manufacturer's documentation for standardized minimum and maximum values.
The following table summarizes the peak (at startup) power consumed by the
HP xw9400 system and the heat it generates under the maximum processing
load produced by your Visual Effects and Finishing application. For detailed
specifications, including noise output, see the documentation provided by
the manufacturer.
Component
HP xw9400
Miranda DVI-Ramp2
Lucid ADA 88192
NOTE Workstations equipped with the NVIDIA
and the NVIDIA Quadro SDI board do not use the Miranda DVI-Ramp2.
You must be able to meet the startup power requirement and have a climate
control system with the capacity to maintain the temperature of these
components under the maximum processing load. Refer to the following table
for standard conversion benchmarks and an example of how they are used to
establish climate control requirements.
