You cannot really make overall assumptions. There are several limiting factors how much you can shove in a given number of rack units: * Total power consumption * Total heat output (Can be ignored in many cases) * Airflow direction, you often don't want to mix, depending on A/C design (hot isles and cold isles or vertical airflow for all isles) * Rating of available power feed
Other factors must be baked in in special cases like acoustics, vibration, etc. In an ideal world you get a specification from whoever is in charge of the floors. -Alex On Wed, May 05, 2021 at 10:25:39AM +0400, Peter wrote: > Hello > > Apology for posting a non mainframe questions here . > > Is there a way to determine the total power consumption of rack with 12u as > form factor ? > > I am sure some of them would have used a benchmark to design a solution for > any new server coming inside the data center floor. > > So any clue or your experience would help me to analyse further. > > Peter > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
