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.
