BL 685 server power

[Doug Dellinger]

For FDA Documentation we need to know how much power a single blade server could pull at max. I can get how much it is using from the OA, but can't find MAX power anywhere.

So how much does a BL685 use at max pull?

Max Power Consumed By Full configured BL 685 is 723 Watts. When utilization at 100% .

Thanks, How did you find this, I will need to get it for other systems as well?

Hi Dellinger,

You can find this in the server Specification.
You can configure your Enclosure it will give total maximum power.

NOTE: To review maximum system power ratings for facilities planning purposes use the Active Answers Blade Power Sizer which is available via the online tool located at:

Another team member and I both looked at the configurerator and didn't see any thing about what a server pulls, it was all the enclosure. Am I missing something obvious?

Hi Dellinger,

Yes you are right.
The value may be wrong. I configured a enclosure in the link and just took readings from FAN wattage and Subtracted it.

Please don't consider the value.

Thanks for your inputs.
