Dell 27W3W 200 Watts 80-Plus Power Supply For PowerEdge C6000

Product Description

The Dell 27W3W is a 200-watt power supply unit specifically designed for the Dell PowerEdge C6000 series of dense server chassis. The C6000 is a modular chassis that can house multiple server nodes, and each node or the chassis itself requires a power supply. This 200W unit is intended to provide power efficiently and reliably within these high-density computing environments. Its wattage is suitable for configurations where power consumption per node is optimized or for specific roles within the chassis that require less power. This power supply carries an 80-Plus certification, indicating that it meets specific energy efficiency standards. An 80-Plus certified power supply operates with at least 80% efficiency at 20%, 50%, and 100% load levels at a voltage of 115V. This efficiency translates to less wasted energy as heat, lower electricity bills, and a reduced environmental impact. For dense server environments like the C6000, where numerous components are packed closely together, efficient power supplies are crucial for managing heat and maintaining stable operating temperatures. The 27W3W is built to Dell's specifications, ensuring compatibility and reliable performance within the PowerEdge C6000 ecosystem. Its standard ATX form factor allows for straightforward installation into the designated bays within the chassis. While 200 watts might seem modest for some server applications, it is often sufficient for specific node configurations or as part of a redundant power system within the C6000, where multiple power supplies might be employed to ensure availability and load balancing.
