Power consumption
"Paul" wrote in message ... Does anyone know how to measure the power consumption of a compaq proliant 6500? I'm trying to figure out how much it costs me in electrical bills. thanks! use the power calculator for the 6500, which can be found he http://h30099.www3.hp.com/configurator/powercalcs.asp basically, you are looking at about 600W ... so, every 2 hours, you will incur 1.2kwh charge to run this box. Take into account that charges vary depending on the time of day, so you might have something like this (not real numbers, for illustration purposes only): 00:00 ~ 0:800 $.02/kwh 08:00 ~ 12:00 $.04/kwh 12:00 ~ 18:00 $.11/kwh 18:00 ~ 00:00 $.06/kwh with the imaginary numbers above, it would cost approximately $21.96 a month to run that server. Also, charges vary by month in many markets. hope that helps, - LC |
