I’m looking at my new server’s IDRAC console and it’s idling at 260 watts. That seems high to me. I’m new to this so some help would be appreciated. It only has ESXI 7 installed, no virtual guests yet. So nothing really requiring processor power. Thank you!
2x E5-2650 v3
32GB Ram
12x 4TB SAS drives
2 extra NICs
With that amount of drives and extra NICs it sounds fairly expected.
