4.1 PCIe slot Power
Be AWARE of the power consumption of any 3rd party card that is inserted into the slot of the device. Each individual slot is capable of
outputting 75 Watts of power. If at any time the cards inserted exceed the maximum amount of power that is available from every slot, then
one power supply would not suffice. One power supply is capable of producing only 850 Watts of power. Users would need to acquire a second
power supply for all slots to work properly. In general, the best support for power-hungry cards requires 1200 Watts (2 power supply units).
Each slot is designed to support:
3.0 amps @ 3.3v = 9.9 watts; 5.5 amps @ 12v = 66 watts
IMPORTANT
Customer should be aware he or she cannot use with a single brick the entire 850 Watts of the power supply for the PCIe
cards, but rather only 700 Watts, as 150 watts should be allocated for the chassis and the backplane alone.
