- Warren Strange quotes the following source with the power output of
- the 690MP:
-
- > From the Sun Microsystems site prepartion guide part no. 800-5216-11:
- > For SPARCServer 690MP systems:
- > Heat Output, maximum 11,577 BTU/Hr

- I think this number is probably too high even as a maximum. Thermochemical
- BTU per hour converts to Watts as roughly
- ( X BTU/hr) * ( 0.292875 Watts hr /BTU) = (Y Watts)
- Therefore, 11577 BTU/hr = 3391 Watts. On a standard 110 V rms line this
- machine would draw around 31 Amps. I would say this is about 5 to 10 times
- too large.
