G7or earlier BTO servers until the last supported server is no longer shipping.

HP BladeSystem Power Sizer
The HP BladeSystem Power Sizer helps in sizing the power infrastructure needed for a HP BladeSystem solution. This sizer enables effective planning for the power consumption and heat load of
the BladeSystem at its site.
The sizer enables you to:
Select the type and number of components within each Blade Server and Blade Enclosure.
View the effect of component changes on the power consumption and heat loading.
Review server loading and determine power supply and power subsystem requirements.
Approximate electrical and heat load for facilities planning purposes.
The sizing estimate is based on component level power measurements for a system operating at very high enterprise application loads.
Values obtained from the BladeSystem Power Sizer are estimates for planning purposes only. Actual measured power consumption can be significantly lower or higher than the Power Sizer
estimates. Actual power consumption varies with application type, application utilization, and ambient temperature.
The p-class BladeSystem and the c-Class BladeSystem solutions are supported in the BladeSystem Power Sizer.
