What AS400 power requirements should we check before a hardware refresh?

Check the exact machine type, power supply configuration, rack depth, PDU capacity, UPS runtime, cooling capacity, and service clearance for the final configuration, not a generic platform label.

Power requirements matter before ordering because facilities work can delay a server deployment even when the hardware is available. The safest process is to review the final hardware quote with the facilities or data center team before committing to the migration timeline.
