you cannot calculate it starting from the power supply - that is only max power that you can use.

I am calculating BTU of air conditioner for our server room. There are 30+ servers in the server room. Most of them have redudant power supply. For example, if a Dell 2950 server has 2 x 700 W power supply (from server specifications), how much watt of this server need? Do I need to consider peek time or running time?<br />
