The average amperage would probably be about 1.5 Amps occasionally spiking at 3 per server. &nbsp;You might want to consider getting a UPS that offers a load gauge so you have an idea of the load on the UPS. &nbsp;A lot of the new ones have a digital gauge or a bar gauge. &nbsp;

The best way to find this out is install Dell's Open Manage product on each server. It will give you what your looking for and much much more...<br />

We are looking to get some new UPS back ups for our cabinets and i was wondering if there is a list of some sort that displays common servers and their amperage usage.<br />
<br />
Or if anyone knows what the amperage usage is on a dell power edge 2550 and 2850?

Amperage usage on servers for UPS calculations

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
