Compaq Proliant DL760 PIII XEON 8x900mhz 4gig system
Question: is this server going to run on two inputs of 110vac each or
is it going to require two inputs of 240vac to just come up. Thanks. |

Depending on your config, 110 should be fine ... your can cut your amperage
load in half if you go to 240, but you still have to think about the total wattage. As per the quickspec on the HP site: http://h18002.www1.hp.com/products/q...10813_div.HTML Two Redundant Hot Plug 1150/500-Watt power supplies per system. Power supplies are load sharing and provide 1150 Watts of Redundant power for 220 volt input or 500 Watts of Redundant power for 110 volt input. NOTE: To ensure redundancy of server power, Compaq recommends that 200-240 VAC power be used for all deployments. This will ensure that both power supplies can support up to their maximum configurations, and remain in a redundant power supply state. NOTE: A maximum of two power supplies are supported. Of course, you have to consider what your system config is. You will need way more power if you are going to run 16GB of RAM ... but, you are running 8 prox and 4GB. You might be able to get away with 2 500W supplies on 110, but it appears that you would be better off running it on 220 to get 1150W per PS rather than 500W on 110. - LC wrote in message ups.com...

Thanks.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yea I know what compaq says on the issue. I do not care about redundancy. I just want it to come up and run. I am thinking of deploying it with windows 2000 advanced server as a home office machine. (I am a telephony software developer and I am getting more into multiprocessor voip support all the time. Current production machines are 2.3gig P4 XEON QUAD core 4 gig machines.) So I really do not want to have to get a electrician to just get it up and running. I am thinking 110vac will bring it up but not be reduntant for one simple reason. 1100watts from one power supply is enough to run the machine in a situation where one power supply is failed. But i would like to confirm this before I buy the machine. Thanks. |

In fact, I would look into removing 4 of the processors to ensure that you can run a 4x proc, 4Gb setup. Not sure if you need slot 2 terminators or not. But if all you are doing is working on multithreaded software, 4 proc's should serve as well as 8. - LC |

The real issue with this unit is cost of operation. If you intend on this thing going 24x7, expect about a 30 to 40 dollar a month power bill increase. Phil |
