maksam Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi guys ive been speaking with a few Dell guys and they are sending me round the bend. I would really appreciate a response from anybody who works in a datacentre or runs any R200's. Im trying to find out how many amps a R200 is likely to use on the following specs. Quad Core Intel® Xeon® X3360, 2.83GHz, 2x6MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB 4GB Memory, DDR2, 800MHz (4x1GB Dual Ranked DIMMs) C1 - Onboard SATA, 1 Drive connected to Onboard SATA Controller - No RAID 160GB, SATA, 3.5-inch, 7.2K RPM Hard Drive x2 Riser with PCI-E Support (1xPCI-E x8 slot, 1x PCI-E x4 slot) Ive been on the dell calc and they dont even have the processor that im after in their calc for me to get a bearing... even then i couldnt trust it. Somebody has given me a bearing already on this forum and ive made a note of that, however i wont mention it again incase it may influence your answers. Here is the actuall link to the server im talking about. http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukbsdt1&kc=305&l=en&oc=SV4R200&s=bsd&sbc=pedge_r200 Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingJ Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 As stated previously, it's around 0.5A. I've never actually tested myself as I don't have any, but it seems that is about right. With your bigger processor however you might be looking at a bit more. Have a look on wikipedia for the TDP for the processor listed at that link and the one you have to get an idea of how much more power it uses.

WR-Rob Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Correct, The R200 runs just below the 0.5amp mark. Slightly over on startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP-Dallas Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 mine runs about 0.7 on startup and about 0.4 most of the time just running this is in amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackGaming Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Thats interesting, We have a much higher build (2x Quadcore 2GHZ) we use 1.1amps (extra charges ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WR-Rob Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Blimey!, i run a Dell 2950 III, which has a 2.5Ghz Xeon Quad core, 8GB Ram, 8x 146GB SAS drives and dual powersupplies and raid card and that uses under 1amp when running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
