    Question Regarding a Dell PowerEdge C6100

    Hello everyone. I am thinking about buying a Dell PowerEdge C6100. I plan to run all 4 nodes with dual hex-cores. I have called around to a couple colocation places and I haven't been getting a straight answer. I need to know how many amps of power it's going to take to run this machine. I have been getting a consensus of 3-4amps and one guy told me its going to take 3 amps PER node which comes out to 12 amps. Can someone please help me with this?


    Thank You,
    ServerStorms

    2 amps per node is ok.

    The dual hexacores (assuming you are using dual L5639s) will pull about 8.5 amps for the entire chassis at 100% load with a single HDD in each node.

    Ours average 110 watts each. At 120v that's 3.6 amps. That's with a single drive in each.

    Thank you very much fellas. I am going to approximate at least 10 amps to be on the safe side.
