The IBM Systems Energy Estimator is a web-based tool for estimating power requirements for IBM Power Systems™. You can use this tool to estimate typical power requirements (watts) for a specific system configuration under normal operating conditions.
The estimated power requirement is described as "typical". It does not necessarily represent the worst-case power condition that can be measured at 100 percent processor utilization or under abnormal conditions such excessive inlet temperature or hardware failure. The estimated power requirement supports default settings for IBM EnergyScale technology for all models. Additional estimation support is provided for Static Power Saver Mode on certain POWER7 models. Power saver modes can be modified on IBM Power Systems using IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager.
