Unfortunately, there isn't a single tool for all of Dell's devices. Here are the links to both tools:
ESSA:
Supported Products:
http://essa.us.dell.com/dellstaronline/Launch.aspx/ESSA?c=us&l=en&s=gen
and for DCCP 3.04 web version:

Wolran,
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,
WolRan

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.

Dear:
I would consult as BTU consumption calculation for two servers
Dell PowerEdge 2950
Dell PowerEdge 2970
In the Hash I have found this information.

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.

ESSA has been replaced by EIPT AFAIK.
