So the UPS I was looking at is here: https://www.microcenter.com/product/506629/apc-smart-connect-ups-(smc1500-2uc)
It lists VA, W, and V.
Yeah so that's kinda what I was getting at. If I put in three NUCs that pull 330 watts, that's 990 watts to the NUCs by itself. If the UPS can only provide 900 watts, then pulling more than that just wouldn't work right? The UPS would essentially discharge in seconds right?
I was looking at a ROG NUC like this one:
It states 330 watts under the power rating. And to be clear, this part of the build isn't going to happen for a while so I was just looking up some NUC examples. I was also looking at full 1U servers too.
But to the maximum ratings portion of your response. Even if 330 is the max, don't you want to base your predictions off of that to make sure it can handle things at max draw? Totally get that if you plan for less, chances are you won't ever hit 330 but you're banking on the possibility that you won't instead of planning for if you do?
Yeah that's kinda where I'm coming down too. They both also do IPv6 Multicast which I'll use briefly later on when I start setting up the Nutanix CE section of the build but I mean...they look so similar I may as well save the $45.
Yeah for sure. I used to build much larger servers for my job so I'm trying to design for the future. I know I have some checkboxes that I need to hit now but I want to make sure there's room for growth/change.
Oh hey this is great! And FOSS which I always appreciate. Thanks!
