Hello, I have 4 blade servers with a total present power of 5250 watts. Is the formula I should follow to calculate the total monthly KW/h consumption as 5.25 x 24 x 30 OR 5250 x 24 / 1000 x 30?

4 blades? Jesus those must be old. I thought 800w idle with 3 UCS b200 m3 blades in a UCS mini was bad…

I’m now running 3 dell r630’s with dual 10 core e5 v4, 384gb ddr4 and 8x 1.92tb SSDs and it’s under 400w idle with 12 or so VMs running
