Configuration scenarios
Example configurations
The following configuration examples were calculated using the HP Blade Power Sizer Tool. This tool is
designed for facilities planning purposes only. Values obtained from the tool are based on worst case
loads. Whenever possible, actual measurements are recommended. Measurements should be made with
the intended configuration, application loading, and ambient environment.
Actual power usage will vary depending on application loading, ambient temperature, and other factors.
