Conclusion The HP Power Advisor is a valuable utility for planning systems based on HP ProLiant products. The calculator provides meaningful estimates of power for use in sizing an infrastructure. It is important to note, however, that actual power consumption of an installed system running certain applications may vary. To use the Power Advisor effectively, IT organizations must observe the following caveats: Do use the Power Advisor for: • Estimating requirements only for HP systems • Determining maximum equipment power and cooling needs at the unit (chassis) and rack levels Do not use the Power Advisor for: • Estimating requirements of systems from other vendors • Direct comparisons with other vendors' products • Precisely predicting the power consumption of a single instance of a server running a particular application. Actual power consumption can be less than the power and cooling needs indicated by the Power Advisor. • Estimating power consumption of individual components (memory, hard drives, cards, etc.) NOTICE The HP Power Advisor is provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind. The entire risk arising out of the use of the Power Calculator remains with the customer. In no event shall HP be liable for any direct, consequential, incidental, special, punitive, or other damages whatsoever (including without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption or loss of business information) even if HP has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Refer to the HP Power Advisor program license terms for more information. NOTE: HP Power Advisor is intended to be a conservative estimator of power. No two applications will consume exactly the same amount of power. Even programs that report the same CPU utilization will have different power consumption characteristics, based on the exact mix and sequence of instructions being executed. The programs used as the measurement reference for the HP Power Advisor were intended to consume as much or more power than actual user applications. HP offers IT administrators post-installation support with the following power management solutions designed to maximize server efficiency and reduce power consumption to maintain the data center power budget: • HP Insight Power Manager-included as part of HP Insight Control Suite, a monitoring and management application providing centralized control of server power consumption and thermal output • Dynamic Power Capping-a part of the HP Thermal Logic Technology initiative allowing IT administrators to reclaim data center capacity by monitoring and capping server power without impacting performance 21
