Power
- We will have three 250v plugs (20A each - L6-20R is the socket)
- Should probably get 4 PDUs for 20kW total. Can likely scrounge a fourth socket if we need it.
- PDUs commonly come with 24 plugs, so we'll likely want two, one for each 220v source.
- Twin servers share a power supply, so we cut down on the number of plugs that way.
- Quad servers apparently share 2 power supplies, but need only one to run (i.e. redundant power by default).
- PDUs run ~$750 for 24 plugs
- Was some concern that the Infiniband and 10GigE switches could be very power hungry
- Our Mellanox 36-port switches are IS5024 (XXX verify): ?? watts
- Arista 24-port switch (7124S): 210W "typical power draw"
