Tom,

I still need the info about the power etc. What I need to know is the
voltage (120V, 208V, single, 2 or 3 phase, etc) and amps of the raid,
the 450 and the UPS. 
 
My UPS is only at 33% capacity but adding more hardware will reduce how
long it will keep my h/w up so I am not sure I want to add your h/w to
my UPS. THere may be the need to add power to the computer room to
handle the this (usually raids need special power) and if that is the
case, them the issue of who pays for the electricians etc will have to
be addressed.

So please if you can get me the power requirements and also if heat
output is listed, that would be helpful too.  
Thanks
