The KI10 has fairly modest power requirements compared to a KL10. The KL10
contains more circuitry, and much of it is 10K ECL, which consumes far more
power than TTL.

The site preparation docs give the power consumption of the KL10
as 21.6 KW. This doesn't include any disk or tape drives, communiations
processors, or other peripherals or options.
