Okay, so I got this kill-a-watt thingy hooked up to a new DL360 G5 server and I want to see what the max draw on this thing really is. I know what HP says it is but I want to do some real world testing. So, right now I have HDTach and Prime95 running on it. Both cores are maxed at 100% utilitization and I'm using about 2.4GB of RAM out of the available 3.5GB. The Kill-A-Watt says I'm only drawing about 280watts. What else do I need to run on this pig to completely max out it's power draw??

 
run a instance of prime that test the memory and not the processors.

also run lots of instances of one app so that they are all loaded into memory maybe?

Get something going with a lot of HDD access, those should suck down some power.
 
all good suggestions, but what should I run to max out the network utiliztion and hdd access? I tried using iometer but apparently I am too retarded to figure that one out . . . .
