2: Site Preparation Concepts
Voltage Requirements
SGI Origin 3900 servers ship with the option of either single-phase or three-phase input
power. Refer to the section titled “System Power Requirements” in Chapter 6 for the
voltage requirements of the chassis. You must ensure that your account manager knows
of your needs before the system is ordered.
Ensure that the required voltage is available and is within a reasonable distance of the
intended location. If it is not, the site must be wired for the required voltage.
Power Requirements
Even one SGI Origin 3900 server rack can require more power than is routinely available
in an office environment. A room full of racks will almost certainly require some
specially installed electrical circuits. Refer to the section titled “System Power
Requirements” in Chapter 6 for the power requirements of the rack in question.
Note: The wattages listed in this guide are the system maximums. While most systems
never draw the maximum rated wattage, SGI recommends that you install wiring that is
capable of supporting the system’s maximum potential wattage.
Power is measured in voltamperes (VA) and watts. Both measurements are important
when you prepare to install wiring, power conditioning, and cooling.
A VA rating is a function of the voltage and amperage of a system. A watt rating is the
VA rating multiplied by its power factor (refer to the section titled “Power Factor” on
page 7). You can convert among amps, volts, VA, power factor, and watts by using the
following formulas:
Use this information and the information provided in Table 6-2 to determine the site
power requirements.
If, after you add up the power requirements of all the devices in the room, you find that
the total is close to the limit that the existing wiring can support, you should install
additional power circuits to support the systems.
