Data Center Knowledge posted about 20 minutes of very poorly shot video of Prineville. They're Open Compute servers in 'triplet' racks. [...] Their power supply (also open) runs across 2 legs of a 277/480 3-phase feed, which is usually what the substation supplies to your PDUs, which step it down further to 120/208. It also takes -48, and each pair of triplets has a 48V float string that will run the 180 servers for about 45 seconds.
It's a nice setup. I plan to steal it. :-)
That's what they want you to do - check out the specs on http://opencompute.org/ -- Simon.
