BXSTS100P Datasheet, PDF (3/8 Pages) Intel Corporation – Intel® Server Board

According to the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, the typical server wastes 30-40% of its input
power. This wasted power is given off as heat in the data center which adds significantly to the air
conditioning load of the data center and makes the true cost of ownership of inefficient servers much
higher than just the power it consumes. In a traditional data center, each Watt of power dissipated
requires an additional Watt of electricity in air handling and chilling, so the impact can be doubled.

Wall Power (Watts)
Intel® Server Board S5500WB
Intel® Server Board S5520UR
An optimized system built around the Intel® Server Board S5500WB saves 32W at the wall over a typical 1U server such as the
Intel® Server System SR1600UR. This equates to total data center power savings of 64W (in a typical data center with PUE of
2.0)² Over a four year life, with electricity cost of $0.10 per KWh, that would amount to over $224 in power costs saving for
each server deployed.³
