Electrical

Table 6. Alternating current electrical. This table provides the electrical information for the 8233-E8B and 8236-E8C servers.
Electrical characteristics	Properties
Maximum kVA	2.0 kVA
Voltage	200 - 240 V ac
Frequency	47 - 63 Hz
Maximum thermal output	6655 BTU/hr
Maximum power consumption	1950 W
Power factor	0.98
Maximum inrush current	70 Amps
Maximum leakage current	0.77 mA
Phase	1
Maximum branch circuit breaker	20 A
Notes: The power supplies automatically accept any voltage with the published, rated-voltage range. During standard operation, dual power supplies are operating, the power supplies draw approximately equal current from the utility (mains) and provide approximately equal current to the load. Power draw and heat load vary greatly by configuration. When planning for an electrical system, it is important to use maximum values. However, when planning for heat load, you can use the IBM Systems Energy Estimator to obtain a heat output estimate based on a specific configuration. Measured according to IEC 60950. To calculate the amperage, multiply the kVA by 1000 and divide that number by the operating voltage.

Electrical characteristics	Properties

Notes: L_WAD is the statistical upper-limit A-weighted sound power level (rounded to the nearest 0.1 B). L_PAM is the mean A-weighted emission sound pressure level measured at the 1-meter bystander positions (rounded to the nearest dB). 10 dB (decibel) equals 1 B (bel). All measurements made in conformance with ISO 7779 and declared in conformance with ISO 9296.

Electromagnetic compatibility compliance

The electromagnetic compatibility compliance is: FCC Part 15, ICES-003

Safety compliance

The safety compliance is: IEC 60950-1; UL 60950; CSA 60950

Special Hardware Management Console considerations

When the server is managed by a Hardware Management Console (HMC), the console must be provided within the same room and within 8 m (26 ft) of the server. For additional considerations, see Planning for HMC installation and configuration.

Note: As an alternative to the local HMC requirement, it is acceptable for you to provide a supported device, such as a PC, with connectivity and authority to operate through a remotely attached HMC. This local device must be in the same room and within 8 m (26 ft.) of your server, and provide functional capability equivalent to the HMC that it replaces and that is needed by the service representative to service the system.

Delivery and subsequent transportation of the equipment

DANGER

Heavy equipment—personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled. (D006)

You must prepare your environment, with assistance from an authorized service provider, to accept the new product based on the installation planning information provided. In anticipation of the equipment delivery, prepare the final installation site in advance so that professional movers or riggers can transport the equipment to the final installation site within the computer room. If, for some reason, this is not possible at the time of delivery, you must make arrangements to have professional movers or riggers return to finish the transportation at a later date. Only professional movers or riggers should transport the equipment. The authorized service provider can only perform minimal frame repositioning within the computer room, as needed, to perform required service actions. You are also responsible for using professional movers or riggers when you relocate or dispose of equipment.
