Today in my coy, a new server was delivered to us.
However this new server requires 20a to be driven
but the rack we have here.
Uses a regular power extension cable which in my
understanding can only deliver 13a to power
the old server which we want to replace.
Under such circumstances will there be any implications
if the server power is setup this way?
Or should I recommend a 1u server power extension which
is to used with the new server instead of a regular power
extension cable.
