- dijit 5y agoYou don't get fed DC power, you get fed AC power. But, point taken: yes your power feed should be running at <50%. But that just means you treat 50% as 100% just like any resource. Mostly this is outsourced to the datacenter provider; they'll give you a per side rating. (usually 10A or 16A) which also matches the cooling profile of the cabinet.
- vel0city 5y agoI mean, in some datacenters they run DC power to each rack. Its definitely more esoteric than having each device run AC but some people do it. However, with their comment DC == Data Center, not Direct Current.
- dijit 5y agoYeah, I got thrown off by the "per DC supply is 50% of the actual limit" DC = Datacenter? makes no sense, so my head replaced it with "Power Supply" instead of "DC Supply", second sentence does make sense as being datacenter though.
