SGI: Hardware

SGI systems power usage - Page 2

I just got a Kill-A-Watt meter, so I figured I'd add the results from my three SGI machines. I haven't updated the wiki because I don't want to step on other people's results - perhaps I should just append mine to the bottom? I'm not sure what the accepted procedure is there.

Anyway, these are all off a standard 110V, 15A outlet. Idle means sitting at an IRIX desktop, and loaded means I'm pushing the graphics. I couldn't get any of my machines to draw more power when the processor(s) are being pushed. I also include standby numbers - the machine powered off but plugged in (or in the case of the Onyx2, the breaker in the back switched on).

So here they are:

Code:
Indigo2, 200MHz R4400, Extreme, 9.1GB HDD, 128MB RAM
Standby:    5.5 (Watts)
Idle:       145
Loaded:    153

Octane2, 2x400MHx R12000, V12, 73GB HDD, 1.25GB RAM
Standby:    3.3
Idle:       243
Loaded:    260

Onyx2, 4x400MHz R12000, IR3, 73GB HDD, 4.5GB RAM
Standby:    20
Idle:       945
Loaded:    1025



To push the graphics, I used the Lattice screensaver for the Onyx2 and Octane2, and the solidview demo for my Indigo2.
