You also might need to consider if you have redundant power supplies or redundant/diverse power sources. There will not be a single definition of power consumption based on the number of units or even the number of devices. A 12U rack used as a patch panel will have no consumption, but a 12u UPS rack will have much more.

That depends on the use profile. What equipment is in continuous use and what 
is standby. Are you counting power for cooling?

Subject: Datacentre Rack power clarification

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
