Hi folks,<br />
Sorry for what might seem like a stupid question but I need to double check.<br />
<br />
I am getting a blade server <br />
Manufacturer: Dell<br />
Model: Poweredge 1955<br />
Total Number of Blades: 10<br />
Chassis Size: 7U<br />
Chassis contains:<br />
(4) 2100W power supplies<br />
Requires 200-240VAC connection<br />
<br />
No the power needs, does it need a 220 20 amp circ or it needs a 30amp?<br />
<br />
I found some info that it need 18amp and some that shows that it needs a 30 amp. &nbsp;If anybody is using this blade server, can you please let me know which circuits you are using to power it.<br />
<br />
Thanks,

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

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.

Server Hardware

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
