Have to go back to basic electrical theory for this. Power is measured in watts. Amps is current only. Semantics, I know, since I knew what you meant, but still...

That is awesome, but it does not tell me what the power consumption is, just which APC unit will support them. I guess in a roundabout way, I can back the power out of the specs for that unit. Thanks for the help! The more tools, the better.

APC's website has an awesome power calculator that contains model numbers of most every server room item you could buy. http://www.apc.com/template/size/apc/index.cfm From: Steve Kelsay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 10:29 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Power requirements calculations? Sorry to be so under-educated, but I am trying to decipher the power requirement for a Dell/EMC CX3-40 San. The spec sheet says the power consumption is 300VA (288 W Max) and the Disk Chassis has 440 VA and 425 w Max. However, the power units are rated in amps. I searched Google, Dell, and EMC sites and can't find anything else. Is there a way to convert these figures so I can size the power correctly for the rack? Everything else has AMPS listed. ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
