Just to clear up confusion...My two lines above are about very
different things. The "~130W or so" is for a spun-up RL01 or RL02
drive, NOT a Sun E3x00. The latter pulls quite a bit more than that!
Yes, I figured. My question about 3-phase stemmed from me assuming
that the E3k was a slightly smaller subset of the E10k, which is...
beastly.
No, there's very little similarity between the E10K and the other ExK
machines. The E10K is an outgrowth of a Cray-designed machine; it followed
the Cray CS6400 SuperServer, and was designed mostly by Cray. Sun got it
when they acquired that division of Cray, and sold it under their name.
And yes, the E10K is a BEAST. It pulls over 10kW, and has FOUR rather
beastly power cables with L6-30 connectors. It is one of the two heaviest
pieces of equipment in here, weighing about 1600lbs. The only machine in
here that's heavier is the IBM z890.
The E3K, on the other hand, I can (with minor difficulty) lift by myself,
and runs on 110V power.

standard 110V. Little baby sub-deskside machines.
Not by much. Once spun up, they only pull ~130W or so.
Depends on the quantity of disks in 'em, too. If you fill all the bays it will suck
down more power. I wish I had an SCA to SATA converter so I could put an SSD in mine? and
a Creator3d framebuffer. I'd probably make that my new office "desktop."
