I have to deploy two racks as follows and I am wondering if getting a 250V = 30A NEMA L6-30P electric receptacles for each rack should be enough for the= rack configurations below. Total Ampere does not exceed 30A however, I am = worried about power surge when system starts up and of course I plan on pow= ering the equipment one by one. What's the field experience on the power re= quirement? Thanks. -Paul rack config1 7 x D1000 storage array(100-240VAC, 2.6A, 260W) 1 x V480 server(100-240VAC, 8.6A) total: 26.8A rack config2 5 x A5200 storage array(100-120VAC, 6.6A or 200-240, 3.3A 650W) 1 x V480 server(100-240VAC, 8.6A) total: 25.1A.
