Thanks guys. That's what I thought. It is great to have a couple of second opinions. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Roger Riggins Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 2:40 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: ups config I've noticed on ours that power is pulled from both power supplies. If I yank power to one of them, then the amount of power drawn from the remaining power supply is increased. Like you said, though... it shouldn't ever pull more than 625. APC has a sizing tool on their website which will allow you to select your components that you want on battery and make a recommendation based on your input. Good luck!

Thus you should not have more then 625 watt load.

If I have two (redundant) 625 watt power supplies in a server, do they pull 625X2 watts of power. Or is one a backup?
