HP Power Calculator Program

      For anyone who are using or planning to use HP server, this help for calculate PDU before connect to the UPS. HP ProLiant Servers - Online HP Power Calculators The HP Online Power Calculator has been replaced by the HP Power Advisor for HP ProLiant G6 servers and beyond. Use the HP Power Calculator for HP ProLiant G5 and earlier server models. 

       The HP Power Advisor is a tool provided by Hewlett-Packard to assist in the estimation of power consumption and proper selection of components including power supplies at a system, rack, and multi-rack level. A variety of additional features are also provided including a condensed bill of materials, a cost of owner ship calculator, and a power report. 

Details
       The HP Power Calculator utility reduces the research and guess-work for determining power requirements of systems based on ProLiant servers. Each calculator provides precise data that planners can use to accurately predict power and cooling requirements for single systems and, consequently, for racks of systems

       HP develops a unique Power Calculator for a specific ProLiant server using data collected from server tests. Each test starts with a system fully-configured with the maximum number of processors, memory, hard drives, expansion cards, and power supplies. Proprietary software is used to exercise the processors and all peripherals while voltage and current measurements are taken. Tests are repeated for all levels of processor support at all speeds, with different memory amounts and hard drive sizes. Revised or updated servers are retested during development cycles to ensure calculator integrity.
 NOTE:  HP Power Calculator is intended to be a conservative estimator of power. No two software programs will consume exactly the same amount of power. Even programs that report the same CPU utilization will have different power consumption characteristics, based on the exact mix and sequence of instructions being executed. The programs used as the measurement reference for the HP Power Calculator were intended to consume as much or more power than actual user applications.
