Dell R200 power consumption
I had not seen any real world power consumption figures for the new Dell R200 1U servers, so as I have a paid sat behind me I thought I’d stick a power meter on and see what they draw.
- Turned off, 0.11Amps.
- Booting, peak at 0.69Amps.
- Turned on and sat pretty much idle, 0.49Amps.
Power factor 0.90, Voltage 247V.
(Spec: Quad core Xeon X3220 @ 2.4GHz, 4x1GB RAM, 2x146GB SAS)

Its not that quiet. I had two sat 3 feet from the back of my head for a week and they were very distracting when on. That said, they were no more noisy than most other 1 or 2u rack mounts servers I know of. If I had to guess, I’d say the R200s were quieter than my SC1425. HTH, Al.

How noisy is the R200 – I need a 1U server for a quiet environment…
