Total current for all devices
Use the following steps to determine the total combined power used by the system.
1. From Power Worksheet 1—Component Power, enter the total current for each column.
2. Multiply the voltage by the total current to get the total wattage for each voltage level.
3. Add the total wattage for each voltage level to arrive at a total combined power usage on the
power supply.
