Configuration scenarios

Example configurations

The following configuration examples were calculated using the HP Blade Power Sizer Tool. This tool is designed for facilities planning purposes only. Values obtained from the tool are based on worst case loads. Whenever possible, actual measurements are recommended. Measurements should be made with the intended configuration, application loading, and ambient environment.

Actual power usage will vary depending on application loading, ambient temperature, and other factors.
