74 IBM Power System S822 Technical Overview and Introduction
2.11.3 Energy consumption estimation
Often, for Power Systems, various energy-related values are important:
򐂰 Maximum power consumption and power source loading values
These values are important for site planning and are in the hardware information center:

Search for type and model number and server specifications. For example, for the
Power S822 system search for 8284-22A server specifications.
򐂰 An estimation of the energy consumption for a certain configuration
The calculation of the energy consumption for a certain configuration could be done in the
IBM Systems Energy Estimator:
http://www-912.ibm.com/see/EnergyEstimator/
In that tool select the type and model for the desired system, enter some details of the
configuration and a desired CPU utilization. As a result the tool shows the estimated
energy consumption and the waste heat at the desired utilization and also at full utilization.
