indicate that the Total System Input power requirement for this server configuration is 423 watts. This is the predicted maximum amount of power that this server configuration would use under environmental and load conditions. It is one of the numbers that an administrator could use when calculating the maximum power and cooling requirements to support this system in the data center. For a rack containing a group of eight of these servers, the total requirements would be 3384 watts. Figure 10. HP Power Calculator results for a configured ProLiant DL380 G5 server 16
