Hi,
Running a bunch of CentOS servers on 2U supermicro equipment, usually with
8 drives on Adaptec SmartRAID V or LSI Megaraid.
In designing a rack in a data center, the question arises as to how to
measure the amperage the server uses, prior to investing in power drops
that actually do that for you, even remotely, for about $260.00-300USD per
unit. This number is the important one these days in determining
rack/datacenter design.
I use the Radio Shack Amp meter. It has an inductance jaw that you put
over ONE wire to the device. This means you need a place on the circuit
that separates the hot and neutral wires. I have a special rig: Mail
plug - separate wires - Female receptacle. Of course I have to unplug
the device, put this rig in, test, then put things back.
