| Power |
| Q1. |
What power is required for the c7000 enclosure? |
| A1. |
The c7000 enclsoure supports a broad range of power inputs:
- Single-Phase 100 VAC - 120 VAC and 200 VAC - 240 VAC
- Three-Phase North America/Japan: 208V line to line 3-Phase Delta
- Three-Phase International: 346 VAC to 415 VAC Line to Line 200 VAC to 240 VAC Line to Neutral, 3-Phase WYE
- DC Input: -48VDC nominal, -36VDC to -72 VDC
|
|
| Q2. |
Does the new HP 2400W High Efficiency Power Supply support low-line (100 - 120V) operation? |
| A2. |
No the HP2400W Power Supply does not support low-line voltages. In order to achieve a high efficiency solution you must run at high-line voltages (200 - 240V). For low-line solutions we recommend using the c3000 enclosure.
|
|
| Q3. |
What Power Connectors does the c7000 enclosure use? |
| A3. |
- Single Phase: 6x IEC320-C20 connectors

| Dynamic Power Capping |
| Q1. |
What is HP Dynamic Power Capping? |
| A1. |
Dynamic Power Capping is the ability of the a customer to limit the power consumption of the enclosure, by setting an enclosure Dynamic Power Cap within the Onboard Administrator. The enclosure Dynamic Power Cap will be shared amongst all of the installed devices and individual server caps will be changed to match the server load. This will optimize the performance of the servers while ensuring that the enclosure stays below the Dynamic Power Cap value.
|
|
| Q2. |
What are the requirements for setting and HP Dynamic Power Cap? |
| A2. |
- OA Firmware Version 2.32 or later
- iLO Version 1.70 or later
-
Latest revision of server ROM BIOS
- iLO Advanced for BladeSystem Licenses for the server Blades in the enclosure
- Supported server blades, see
www.hp.com/go/powercapping for more information
|
|
| Q3. |
When should I set a Dynamic Power Cap? |
| A3. |
You should be setting a Dynamic Power Cap if:
- You are power and/or cooling constrained in your environment
- Your facilities team has told you that you have a kW per rack limitation
-
Your enclosure is preventing some blades from booting due to a power limitation
