Power specifications

The following tables provide system power consumption based on the number of CPC drawers and the number of PCIe+ I/O drawers with maximum configurations.

The IBM Systems Environment Estimator tool provides a more accurate estimation of the power consumption for your specified configuration and environment. See IBM Systems Environment Estimator.

Important:
  • Systems with 1 CPC drawer can be either single phase or three phase PDU powered.
  • Systems with 2 CPC drawers must be three phase PDU powered.
  • The power used in this table assumes the CPC process drawer and PCIe+ I/O drawers are plugged to the maximum with highest power features (ie. memory and I/O adapters and fanouts). Also assumed is that maximum ambient temperature is used.
  • Typical configurations and data center conditions will result in lower power usage.
