The PowerEdge XE9680 server is equipped with power supply units (PSUs) that are essential for its

operation. Here’s the power consumption information that the deployment engineer can provide:

PSU Specifications: Each PowerEdge XE9680 server comes with​four 2800-Watt, 15.6 Amp PSUs1.

This specification is crucial for the data center manager to understand the power requirements for

each server.

Total Power Requirement: With two servers per rack, each rack will have a total of​eight 2800-Watt

PSUs. This information helps in calculating the total power draw for each rack.

Power Distribution Units (PDUs): While the number of PDUs required for high availability can vary,

it’s important to note that the server’s PSUs feature a​C22 input socket1. The data center manager

should ensure that the PDUs in the rack are compatible with this type of connection.

Power Planning: The data center manager must plan for the power needed to supply power to the

four racks, considering the power draw of the servers and any additional equipment that will be

installed.

By providing this detailed power consumption information, the deployment engineer assists the data

center manager in planning for the appropriate power infrastructure to support the PowerEdge

XE9680 servers.
