General Power Requirements

Be sure that you are following the power requirements described in your server-
specific user documentation. Also, the installation of your system equipment must be
in accordance with local/regional electrical regulations governing the installation of
information technology equipment by licensed electricians.
For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the rating label on the product or user
documentation supplied with that option.

Power Consumption Considerations

Before configuring your server, you must evaluate power consumption requirements
and determine the appropriate number of power supplies (and SPMs, if applicable to
your server) to be sure that the server has sufficient power capacity. In addition to
determining the minimum power supply requirements, you must also consider
whether AC power redundancy is a requirement, if applicable to your server. For
more information on the specific power capabilities of your server, refer to your
server-specific user documentation. To obtain the most accurate power capacity and
assessment of power margin, use the power calculator provided on the
ActiveAnswers website at

Power Supply Considerations

After you determine the appropriate amount of power for your server, install the
power supplies needed for the level of redundancy you require. If your server uses
SPMs, refer to your server-specific user documentation to determine the necessary
power supply/SPM configuration.

Power Cord Considerations

If your server supports AC power redundancy, there are multiple power cord
configurations possible with your server. Refer to your server-specific user
documentation to determine the appropriate configuration, if applicable to your
server.
