M1000e Power requirements

Question

I am looking to run a M1000e out of my residence for a home based business. It has three Force10 panels, six E2700P-00 power supplies, and sixteen identical half height m620 blades with dual E5-2630L and 64gb of DDR3L. I have two 120v -240v Chatsworth enterprise PDUs.

I am trying to figure out the recommended power requirements for this exact setup so I know what upgrades will need to be made to my residential power circuity to accommodate it at full load.

Is it recommended to run on a 240v circuit - should I switch to 240v power supplies rather than 120v and install 240v circuitry in my residence?

Also, if I upgrade my blades to m630 or m640 in the future will the full load power requirement remain the same, or should I consider future-proofing my circuitry now?

Thanks.

Hi,

Well, during the first setup of solution, it did request product lifecycle of years. Default is 1 year, I assume it is calculating a year estimation. This is the user guide https://dell.to/4eZFtVF

Hi,

Unfortunately, the power consumption is out of my knowledge as this need the sales engineer to check that for the customer when they have a certain datacenter requirement.

We do have a power consumption calculator online, https://dell.to/41bvvgT but M620 has been removed from the server list. Only M640 is listed. You can use it to roughly calculate the power.

Running on 240V is generally more efficient than 120V, especially for high-power components. 240V circuits can deliver more power with lower current, which reduces the losses in the electrical system, and minimizes the stress on the electrical infrastructure.

(Also wanted to mention that this chassis is meant to serve as a backup network shadowing an array of poweredge rack servers as a last resort network for dealing with temporary peak scaling/redundancy/maintenance issues - I actually have four m1000es for this purpose but only intend to run one at a time and *maybe* have a second one on standby)

@DELL-Joey C​     'Energy Cost' on that infrastruture tool calculator - this is a yearly estimate right?
