L3000-5x Power Requirements and BTU

[Lee Harris_5]

Hi,

I'm struggling a little bit to find any useful information with regards to this. I need to find out the power consumption of an L3000-5x (1 x 550MHx CPU) with 4 two PSUs connected, 3 Gig of RAM, 4 internal disks and it's BTU output.

I've found a few links in old threads but none of them seem to work any more.

I also need to find out the same information for a DS2300 disk enclosure with 6 146GB SCSI disks in it.

Any help would be appreciated. Regards - Lee

Lee - can't give you accurate figures, but can give you averages for the rp5470 (L3000), which you should be under, given you have only 1 processor:

Current requirement - 6.5A across inputs
Power dissipation - 1008W
Max kW rating for UPS - 1.3kW
Typical Heat dissipation 3000BTUs/Hr

The DS2300 manual is here:

It contains all the electrical characteristics you need.
