I recently had an awesome offer and was about to buy 4x chasis full with machines and spin them up in Bulgaria, however gave up when I found out how much power they consume. Not worth it at all. You're going to blow up fuses.
You can save a little space with that but it eats a lot of power, not to mention the limitation of hard drive trays on each blade so you might need additional storage arrays like HP D6000.
Save yourself the trouble and avoid these things. We just sent a ton of chassis and blades to be scrapped.
who on earth is using/buying these blade? Crazy amount of power. And why? WHY!
yes , i was verry surprised about this surce power. Any way thanks all
Could be the PSUs are heavily overspecced for the load theyll be carrying. Nonetheless your power rails should be able to handle the load in case it is booting up...
It depends a lot on the model of BL server you use and the spec, but I have noticed Gen5/6 can consume over 300 Watts when running and about 150-180 watts when in standby. Gen7 are really good for power usage.
and Yes the boot up power requirements of the servers can also be an issue.
You're reading the blade chassis power allocation, not it's actual usage. A fully loaded (Dual e5, 256GB RAM) BL460C G8 Blade, running normally will use about 300w
Exactly, so you can run in a full 2N / A+B set-up and afford to lose 50% of your power supplies and still power the chassis.
