22 IBM BladeCenter PS700, PS701, and PS702 Technical Overview and Introduction
Table 1-6 Minimum features for PS700 PS701 and PS702 Blade Server
1.5.5 Power supply features
The power consumption for each PS700, PS701, and PS702 blade server is 12V at 350 watts
maximum, which is provided by the BladeCenter power supply modules. The maximum
measured value is the worst case power consumption expected from a fully populated server
under intensive workload. The maximum measured value also accounts for component
tolerance and non-ideal operating conditions. Power consumption and heat load vary greatly
by server configuration and use.
Use the IBM Systems Energy Estimator to obtain a heat output estimate based on a specific
configuration. The Estimator is available from the following Web page:
http://www-912.ibm.com/see/EnergyEstimator
For information about power supply requirements for each of the BladeCenter chassis
supported by POWER7 blade servers and the number of POWER7 blades supported, see
1.2.2, “Number of PS700, PS701, and PS702 blades in a chassis” on page 14.
1.5.6 Processor
The POWER7 3.0 GHz 64-bit POWER7 processor for blade servers is available in four-core
(PS700), eight-core (PS701) or two eight-core (PS702) configurations. They are optimized to
achieve maximum performance for both the system and its virtual machines. Couple that
performance with PowerVM™ and you are now enabled for massive workload consolidation
to drive maximum system use, predictable performance, and cost efficiency.
