[AusNOG] CNET: Google uncloaks once-secret server

[Bruce Forster]

I'd make the assumption that it's all converted to low power before it gets
to the rack?

 

Here is a video with some more details.

The only thing unintuitive that I can see about the design is that the power
cord goes THROUGH  the server only to reconnect at the other side, and looks
hard wired in the side of the chassis.

 

The power supply shows 200-240Vac, so are we looking at an Australian
server?

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--Google is tight-lipped about its computing
operations, but the company for the first time on Wednesday revealed the
hardware at the core of its Internet might at a conference here about the
increasingly prominent issue of data center efficiency.
