bl20p blades, power consumption in watts

[rossb2]

I have 2 power enclosures that will support a total of 11720W(4 power supplies on each side). How can I calculate in advance the power requirements of each slot. I will be installing mainly BL20pG3 and G4 servers. wattage will vary depending on what the servers have installed. Is there any HP documentation to assist in calculating this or any utilities I can use? I want to ensure there is sufficient power and wattage on each side of the power enclosure.
