Power consumption and cooling

Introduction

This document presents power consumption and cooling considerations and limitations when using a
1050W 80 Plus power supply in an HP workstation in a typical office environment.

Power consumption and cooling considerations

An HP workstation with a 1050W 80 Plus power supply might require more power than the typical office
environment can supply. Consider the following issues:
● A fully loaded configuration might draw up to 15 amps of 110-volt power, leaving no power for other
accessories. A typical office has one, or maybe two, 15-amp circuits.
●
An office air conditioning system must accommodate the extra heat generated by fully-loaded
workstation configurations.
●
Some environments might have power conditioning problems that prevent the reliable use of high
end workstation configurations.
