It should also be noted that these are absolute maximums with every PCI and disk slot and full with the highest load devices, and still includes a cushion. Should you plan for this much power? Yes of course, but you won't draw anywhere near that during normal operation. FrankieIII consists of three 'towers' turning 56 drives, 8 removable media devices all pushed by 8 power supplies. Add to that 6 external tape drives plus a small Ethernet switch. All of that runs exactly twice the power shown for the 170 with system expansion.

So as usual, YMMV.

Set confusion *ON.

I'm looking for someone to change my confusion flag....

We have a 170 with a UPS that's gone bad. We can't get replacement
batteries for it, so we have to get a different UPS.

Last time I attempted to get the power requirements for a system, it was
like going down a rabbit hole (or whole,) that ended up having more
turns and twist than I could examine.
So, would someone please "Set confusion *OFF" and tell me where to find
the power requirements for a basic 170 so I can tell the guys asking me?

Thank you for your patience and consideration,

Dave
