Description
Product Overview
The IBM Watt 670 Redundant Power Supply is a critical component for the IBM Xseries X236 server. This power supply unit (PSU) provides the necessary power to keep the server running, and its redundancy feature ensures that the server remains operational in the event of a power supply failure. In this article, we will take a detailed look at the 74P4456 IBM Watt 670 Redundant Power Supply for Xseries X236.
Power Supply Unit (PSU) Basics
A power supply unit (PSU) is a device that converts AC (alternating current) power from the main power supply into DC (direct current) power that the computer components can use. The PSU is responsible for providing power to all the components in the server, including the motherboard, processor, hard drives, and other components. The PSU is also responsible for cooling the system by providing power to the fans.
Redundant Power Supply
The IBM Watt 670 Redundant Power Supply for Xseries X236 has a redundant feature that ensures the server remains operational even in the event of a power supply failure. A redundant power supply means that the server has two power supplies, and if one power supply fails, the other power supply takes over. This feature ensures that the server remains operational even if one power supply fails. The redundant power supply also provides additional power to the server, which can be useful in high-performance applications that require more power.
Wattage
The IBM Watt 670 Redundant Power Supply for Xseries X236 has a wattage of 670 watts. Wattage is a measure of the power output of the PSU. The wattage of the PSU determines how much power it can provide to the components in the server. The wattage of the PSU should be sufficient to provide power to all the components in the server.
Compatibility
The IBM Watt 670 Redundant Power Supply for Xseries X236 is compatible with the IBM Xseries X236 server. Compatibility is an essential factor when selecting a PSU for your server. You should ensure that the PSU you choose is compatible with your server to avoid any compatibility issues.
Form Factor
The IBM Watt 670 Redundant Power Supply for Xseries X236 has a form factor of 2U. Form factor refers to the physical size of the PSU. The form factor of the PSU should match the form factor of the server to ensure compatibility.
Connectors
The IBM Watt 670 Redundant Power Supply for Xseries X236 has several connectors, including:
- 24-pin ATX connector – This connector provides power to the motherboard.
- 8-pin EPS connector – This connector provides power to the processor.
- SATA power connectors – These connectors provide power to SATA hard drives and other SATA devices.
- Molex power connectors – These connectors provide power to IDE hard drives and other IDE devices.
- PCIe power connectors – These connectors provide power to PCIe devices such as graphics cards and network cards.
These connectors are essential for providing power to the components in the server. You should ensure that the PSU you choose has the necessary connectors for your server components.
Efficiency
The IBM Watt 670 Redundant Power Supply for Xseries X236 has an efficiency rating of 80 Plus. Efficiency is a measure of how much of the power input is converted to usable power output. The higher the efficiency, the less power is wasted, and the more power is available for the components in the server. An 80 Plus efficiency rating is a good rating for a PSU.
