How to calculate BTU and Power Consumption for a server or array?

Is there a Dell tool that has all Dell devices in it? We have a large mixture of older and newer equipment and it would be so much easier to get a rough idea of our thermal and power requirements if I didn't have to manually enter so many different type of equipment that are missing. For example, R710s are not listed.

Unfortunately, there isn't a single tool  for all of Dell's devices.   Here are the links to both tools:

and for DCCP 3.04 web version:

Here is what I found using the tools:

PE 1950   BTU\watts per hour: 316.9  at 1.52 amps

PE 2850 BTU\watts per hour: 524 at 2.52 amps

PE T610 BTU\watts per hour: 184.3 at .3 amps

Regards,

DELL-Geoff P, this information was helpful for me also.  Do you also have BTU and power consumption numbers for the following: 1950, 2850, T610

I’m not very familiar with power consumption numbers, so I apologize if I’m asking an ignorant question. Your response on a previous thread around the PowerEdge 2950 and 1850 was:

PowerEdge 2950  306w  1044.11 btu/h

PowerEdge 1850  440w  1501.34 btu/h

How does that compare to your responses below for the 1950, 2850 and R610?

PE 1950 BTU\watts per hour: 316.9  at 1.52 amps

PE 2850 BTU\watts per hour: 524 at 2.52 amps

PE T610 BTU\watts per hour: 184.3 at .3 amps

Comparing apples to oranges.  The newer servers are more efficient, using less power and producing less heat, thus providing cost savings in the datacenter. 

The figures used are as if they were the only server in the rack.  If you place more equipment  in the rack the numbers will go up.

It would be very nice if the tool were consistent, it states the R910 is part of the "Supported Products" but is not available as a choice when trying to use the tool.  It's very frustrating to waste so much time digging for energy values on Dell's website for information that should be readily available for every server Dell has manufactured.

Hello Geoff P,

i have a question. for any particular server, say for example :- PowerEdge R520, the power consumption is 159Watts. So do you mean that this 159W is at full load? if so, how much of power/BTU is dissipated/lost when it is working at full load? how to calculate it? Any kind of help in this is appreciated.

Thanks.

the links dont work.

I am looking for the BTU's for a
