Make that 8 blades * 120 watts (at peak) = 960 watts.... woopsie. Either way, still looks like it's unwise to populate that back plane past 8 Gen2 boards on that recomended HP rack-mount PSU. Any thoughts?

Oops, sorry, didn't see your post.
Yes, I don't dare go past 8 blades with the HP server PSU although I don't think gen 2 blades use more than 80 watts since they aren't overclocked. But I'm not certain of that.
My gen 2 blades pull about 6.3-6.8 Ampere each, which is 75 watts - 82 watts.
10 gen 2 blades should use roughly estimated 800-850 watts, if they overload the PSU it would get warm and shut off by itself like PSUs for desktop computers do!
