As a ready reckoner, 2 1.3GHz/3.0MB Itanium2s with 1 PSU, 8GB of RAM and no graphics board runs at over 250W at IDLE. Under loa you are looking into the region of 4-500W. They chuck out a lot of heat too. Not something you want to try running in a confined space on a summers day!

I'm using aha-2940uw adapter on my DS10.
You need to add the following lines to SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT:
--- cut here ---
device = "Adaptec AHA-2940UW"
name = PK
driver = sys$pkadriver.exe
adapter = PCI
id = 0x81789004
boot_class = DK
boot_flags = HW_CTRL_LTR, UNIT_0
flags = SCSI, PORT, BOOT
end_device
There you go, replete with the data for SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT.
Also I have patched OVMS 8.4 CD which supports this adapter.

First, plug them in and see. If VMS can detect them, it will configure
the driver for and use them. You may need to add some device specific-
ation to SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT for this to happen. It will all
depend upon what chips are used on those controller. DEC did rebrand a
few Adaptec devices as well.

I don't find the DS10L I have here to be too onerously loud. It's extremely
quiet compared to some other kit here.
A shadow set system disk should not slow things down. What disks have
you combined to form this shadow set? If you want to slow it down, put
the system on an IDE which the DS10L provides support for!!!
I'd like an itanium, but I haven't heard of one which is reasonable
enough on the power front to warrant being on for extended periods of
time. The DS10L is around 180W, which is not *too* bad.
I'll have to plug in my watt meter and see just how much my Itaniums do
actually consume; however, bang (CPU speed) for the buck (power use), I
would wager that the Itanium is better.

There are two scsi controllers on the pci bus and one of them is named PKD0. So I knew there had to be a PKB and PKC somewhere. I just located them on the motherboard... Never noticed them before!

One of the Qlogic 1020 or 1040 based KZP should be easy and cheap to find.
You don't want the KZPBA-CB though as it's HVD.
