I got 167.1 watts for a 220VAC configuration similar to yours. the 1066 vs 1333 MHz memory causes about a 3watt jump, iirc (the calculator just crashed on me...) I used http://solutions.dell.com/dellstaronline/Launch.aspx/ESSA which is what you get when you type in http://www.dell.com/calc for the calculator tool. For other servers, sometimes the Regulatory Datasheets give power outputs. Note there are a couple of these pages on the Dell website, only the current one has all the R-series servers. There is one page with just a couple. --John _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
