Heat dissipation Values Needed.

Question

Good Morning. I've tried using the Dell Capacity planner - www.dell.com/calc, but it doesn't provide me with the average value ( BTU/hr ) that my HVAC vendor needs to properly size an A/C unit. I need the values for the following equipment: Poweredge 2550 (Dual 660w PS) Powerconnect 2016 Poweredge 1950 (Dual 670w PS ; 3.5 Drives) Powervault 745n

For PowerConnect 2016: Depending on your voltage/Region   0.75Amps * 110V = 82.5W   Heat dissipation: Maximum power consumption = 82.5 W. To calculate BTU/hr: (110 W/1055 Joule)*3600 = 281.51BTU/hr.     For PowerEdge and PowerVault products you'll have to post on Server Forum, not unless you have the devices close to hand and can work out values yourself.

To add on to ToeSlide's findings,

There's a tool available on our site that allows you to configure your Data Center. It can be found at

The utility allows you to get specifics on your enterprise devices so it can give more accurate ratings for heat displacement and power consumption.

Hope that helps!
