Hi,
Odd question for you here -
I am looking to combine all my UPS' into one after a failure of one unit. I currently have 4 small units.
I've been speaking with a supplier and they've told me that my running load for 4 servers is 2650Watts but because I have dual power supplies (redundancy) "when they power back up after a shutdown the UPS will draw from both power supplies in the dual units for a split second and that is 5300watts" So I will need to purchase something twice the size, just for start up.
1. is that true?
2. If that is true, surely there's something more intelligent to do here, ie is it possible to configure delayed starting, so all servers don't start at the same time and require the extra capacity.
