Power and Current for Estimating Supply Needs

requirements of the common rack mounted devices.
Rack configuration utilities available from HP can help you plan the layout of
your rack. Full parts lists as well as diagrams of component positions are
available. Refer to these if they are available. (See "Rack Configuration Tools" in
this chapter.)
