Server specifications provide detailed information for your server, including dimensions, electrical, power, temperature, environment, and service clearances.

Energy Star
Limited configurations of the IBM® Power® 740 Express (8205-E6B and 8205-E6C) two-processor socket servers are qualified to the EPA ENERGY STAR Computer Server requirements. The qualified configurations require a minimum of 128 GB of memory. The ENERGY STAR Power and Performance Data Sheet is provided as follows:

Use the following specifications to plan for your server.

Notes:
  1. The power supplies automatically accept any voltage with the published, rated-voltage range. If dual power supplies are installed and operating, the power supplies draw approximately equal current from the utility (electrical supply) and provide approximately equal current to the load.
  2. Power draw and heat load vary greatly by configuration. When planning for an electrical system, it is important to use maximum values. However, when planning for heat load, you can use the IBM Systems Energy Estimator to obtain a heat output estimate based on a specific configuration. See The IBM Systems Energy Estimator website for more information.
  3. Power 720 servers are rated 100 - 127 V ac and 200 - 240 V ac. Power 740 servers are rated at 200 - 240 V ac.
  4. To calculate the amperage, multiply kVA by 1000 and divide that number by the operating voltage.

Special Hardware Management Console considerations

When the server is managed by a Hardware Management Console (HMC), the console must be provided within the same room and within 8 m (26 ft) of the server. For additional considerations, see Planning for HMC installation and configuration.

Note: As an alternative to the local HMC requirement, you can provide a supported device, such as a PC, with connectivity and authority to operate through a remotely attached HMC. This local device must be in the same room and within 8 m (26 ft) of your server. It must provide functional capabilities equivalent to the HMC that it replaces, and is needed by the service representative to service the system.
