Rack configuration with HP DL380 G6 servers

This example describes a standard 42U rack configured with 20 HP DL380 G6 servers. For this
calculation, each DL380 G6 server is configured with two Intel Xeon E5502 processors, 24 gigabytes
of DDR3 memory, eight 120-GB SATA hard drives and two Smart Array Controller cards (Figure 11).
Two 460-watt power supplies (set to run off 208 VAC) provide 1+1 power redundancy.

Power calculation for a single HP DL380 G6 server
With the Utilization slider control set at 80 percent and the configuration saved, the Power Advisor
calculates (Figure 12) that the system input requirement will be 288.08 VA, the system will draw
approximately 1.38 amperes of current, and it will dissipate 262.27 watts.
