Hi all,
This is my first time putting together a rack and I was wondering how to calculate how much power it will need?
This rack is setup in a room where two out of three outlets are 2 pins, so I am left with plugging in the UPS directly to the wall to the single outlet.
Here is the setup I have in mind. I have about 4-5 servers. So:
Server 1 + Server 2 + (Space for 1 more) --> Power Strip (PDU) --> UPS
Server 3 + Server 4 + (Space for 1 more) --> Power Strip (PDU) --> UPS
I also have a 10G LB6M that needs power, but I'll try to plug that in somewhere since I dont think it would need a lot of power.
How do I make sure that I don't trip the circuit breaker when I power on this rack? I don't even know what else will turn off if this breaker is tripped. I live in a rental place and I can't be disturbing others if I trip the switch.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks!
