Re: Model 320 questions

Don't worry about the 74A rating as that's 'Inrush' current and only 
happens when the power supplies are connected to power for about the first 
1 cycle. (Check any circuit breaker and you'll see they are rated for 
10,000A for 1 cycle to allow for such things.)  The actual amp draw on 
110V would be about 8 (ish) if the thing is fully packed and about 4 on 
220v. Nothing at all to be concerned about - you can safely plug the thing 
into any average wall outlet - just not the one the hair dryer is plugged 
into. :-)

BTUs as I mentioned before is a max of 2867 but again that's fully packed 
and populated with 4 processors, max memory and an IXS card. You'll likely 
see 1/2 to 2/3rds of that.

Re: Model 320 questions






Thanks Pat -- that's one heck of a link (lengthwise that is).  It says
it can operate on 110-220VAC and uses 0.862 kVA, and says the starting
current is 74A.  Looks like I'd need a new circuit for that.  No mention
of BTUs.
