Power & Dimensions

Power Supply Units (PSU)

The C6400 Enclosure supports 2 PSUs

PSU wattage	Class	Heat dissipation (maximum)	Frequency	Voltage	Maximum input current
2600 W AC for C6520 All NVMe Chassis Only	Platinum	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
2400 W AC	Platinum	9000 BTU/hr	50/60 Hz	100–240 V AC, autoranging	14 A–16 A
2000 W AC	Platinum	7500 BTU/hr	50/60 Hz	100–240 V AC, autoranging	11.5 A
1600 W AC	Platinum	6000 BTU/hr	50/60 Hz	100–240 V AC, autoranging	10 A
If a system with 2600 W AC PSU operates at low line 100–120 V AC, then the power rating per PSU is derated to 1400 W.
If a system with 2400 W AC PSU operates at low line 100–120 V AC, then the power rating per PSU is derated to 1400 W.
If a system with 2000 W AC PSU operates at low line 100–120 V AC, then the power rating per PSU is derated to 1000 W.
If system with 1600 W AC PSU operates at low line 100–120 V AC, then the power rating per PSU is derated to 800 W.
