Typical heat dissipation and power consumption metrics for a blade server are as follows:
225W to 300W maximum power for blade
Power input: -40.5 VDC to -72 VDC (-48VDC to -60 VDC nominal)
Normal operating temperatures range is 0oC to 40oC (32 oF to 104 oF)
Short-term operating temperature range is 5oC to 55oC (41 oF to 131 oF) to support ETSI cold start and NEBS short-term high temperatures
Long-term operating temperature range is 5oC to 45oC (41 oF to 113 oF)
Power is allocated on a cumulative basis per zone, with a maximum of 1100 watts per zone. This design allows you flexibility to install blades and their optional components (such as ARTMs) of varying power requirements. However, if you install a blade in a zone where there is not enough power available to allocate to the new blade, it will not power on. In this case, install the blade in a zone that has enough capacity.
