Electrical Requirements
The SGI Virtu VN200 accepts single-phase input voltage only. It typically connects to a
single-phase or 3-phase rack power distribution unit (PDU) that outputs single-phase
220
VAC. Ensure that the required voltage is available and is within a reasonable distance
of the intended location. If it is not, the site must be wired for the required voltage.
Power Consumption for the Graphics Node
Note: Refer to “Related Publications” on page xiv, for a listing of relevant SGI Technical
Publications that can provide the electrical requirements for the other node types in the
system rack.
The system configuration used to measure the power consumption of the graphics node
listed in
