Power for multiple Xeon Phi cards

Hi,

System:  Ubuntu 14.01 LTS, MPSS 3.4.1

We have a server with 2KW power supply, which the manufacture claims support up to 6 Xeon Phi Cards.

When I run my program on Xeon Phi (31S1P) uses all the cores (100% core utilization). I see the power usage on each card is about 188  Watts, which is much lower than 275W in the Xeon Phi specification sheet. I wonder if I can plug all 6 Xeon Phi 31S1P card to the server. What should I check to make sure the system is not under power?  In case the system is under power, is there any damage to CPU and GPU?

   Thanks

This question is best left to the company that sold you hour host system. They designed it, know all the specifications and capabilities, and warrantied it.

a 'proper' power supply will just shutdown.  does it have certification? like gold/platinum etc? assume platinum has better components and better probability to achieve rated wattage

so I'd just plug all 6 in and see if it works..
