Power Circuit Considerations
If you are putting multiple chassis on a single power circuit, ensure that the circuit can safely
handle the combined peak currents of the chassis. If your existing power circuit cannot handle the
peak current, you must have additional power system capacity installed by a qualified electrician.
Note:
Power and Thermal Specifications for A–Series Configurations
The following sections detail the power requirements, current draw, and thermal
considerations for various chassis and blade configurations.

Site Preparation and Network Planning
CAUTION: Make sure your power strips, power grid, and circuit breakers can
safely provide the required current. Ensure that any extension cords used
meet local safety regulations and local fire codes.
Power and current figures are per chassis. Each chassis has two separate IEC power
inputs. Each input supplies power to five blade slots in the chassis. For power and
current figures for each input, divide the following numbers by two.
2.4 GHz Intel Core™2 Quad Processor Q6600
8 GB RAM
V5140 Quad Host card, connected to I9440 user port
Power and current figures are for each chassis. Each chassis has two IEC power
inputs. Each input supplies power to five blade slots in the chassis. For power and
current figures per input, divide these numbers by 2.
