Hi all,

i read datasheet Checkpoint 16000. i want send information for team data center about power but i confused about power supply

1. what the meaning from "single power suppy rating : 1300 W"

2. why single power supply rating different with the power consumption.

thanks.

It means if you only have one power supply installed in the appliance, it draws 1300 watts.
A second power supply will draw more power.
I don't think it draws another 1300 watts, necessarily, but it's definitely non-zero.

The 1300 watts refers to what the power supply is rated for.
A couple bullets down from that on the datasheet is the power consumption with one power supply in a base configuration.
In a footnote, there is also the max power consumption when fully loaded (including two power supplies).
