9. To duplicate an enclosure configuration, select the enclosure in the rack and click Duplicate. In the pop up window requesting for the number of copies, enter the desired value (for this example, enter 3). The Power Advisor will populate the rack with three additional enclosures of the same configuration as the first and calculate the total power requirements for the rack (Figure 20). Figure 20. Populating the rack with four configured c7000 enclosures The Power Advisor determines that a rack configuration of four c7000 enclosures as configured in the previous procedure would require the following: • 3768.36 VA total apparent power (4 x 942.09 VA) that the power distribution components must transfer • 12837.96 total BTU/hr that will need to be removed by the cooling system • 37.68 amperes total current (4 x 9.42 A) drawn by the four enclosures • 3764.8 total watts dissipated by the equipment NOTE The configuration flexibility of the HP c-Class BladeSystem can result in a wide range of power requirements. Depending on components and quantities selected, c-Class configuration results provided by the Power Advisor may vary considerably. 20
