Electrical Requirements

The server uses AC power. The server can operate effectively over a range of voltages and frequencies.

The following table contains the power supply specifications for Oracle Server X8-8.

Note:

The power dissipation numbers listed in the following table are the maximum rated power numbers for the power supply used in the system. The numbers are not a rating of the actual power consumption of the system. For up-to-date information about power consumption, go to the Oracle Power Calculators web site https://www.oracle.com/it-infrastructure/power-calculators/ , and click the Oracle Server X8-8 link.

Parameter	Specification
Voltage (nominal)	200-240 VAC
Input current (maximum)	23 A @ 200 to 240 VAC 12 A max per cord
Frequency (nominal)	50/60 Hz
Maximum power consumption	Single 4-socket –1980 W Dual 4-socket – 3950 W Single 8-socket – 3880 W
Maximum heat output	13,475 BTU/Hr

Caution:

Servers must have a reliable power source. Damage to the server might occur if the input voltage levels or in input power frequency ranges are exceeded. Electrical disturbances, such as the following, might damage the system:

Fluctuations caused by brownouts
Wide and rapid variations in input voltage levels or in input power frequency
Electrical storms
Faults in the distribution system, such as defective wiring

To protect your server from such disturbances, use a dedicated power distribution system, power-conditioning equipment, and lightning arresters or power cables for protection from electrical storms.

See the following additional power specifications.
