Model 8204-E8A and 9409-M50 server specifications

Server specifications provide detailed information for your server, including dimensions, electrical, power, temperature, environment, and service clearances.

Use the following specifications to plan for your server.

Table 7. Electrical
Electrical characteristics Properties
kVA (maximum) 1.546 kVA4
Rated voltage and frequency1 100 - 127 V ac or 200 - 240 V ac at 50/60 plus or minus 3 Hz
Thermal output (maximum)2 5120 Btu/hr
Maximum power consumption2 1500 W
Power factor 0.97
Inrush current (maximum) 90 A
Leakage current (maximum) 1.6 mA3
Phase 1
Dual power feature code 7707 (2x)
Branch circuit breaker 20 A maximum
Notes:
  1. The power supplies automatically accept any voltage with the published, rated-voltage range. If dual power supplies are installed and operating, the power supplies draw approximately equal current from the utility (mains) and provide approximately equal current to the load.
  2. 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. See The IBM Systems Energy Estimator Web site for more information.
  3. Measured according to IEC 60950.
  4. To calculate the amperage, multiply the kVA by 1000 and divide that number by the operating voltage.

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 consoles, interfaces, and terminals for your service environment.

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.
