The 2002 press release is talking about the Fremont 1 facility not the newer Fremont 2 facility.  Fremont 1 has a fixed 
power availability to each cabinet of just a single 15A circuit.  You can not modify or change that, and if you need 
more power your option is to add another cabinet. You are not allowed to route power cords between cabinets so you are 
forever running a single circuit and 80% of your 15A circuit max.  The data center was built in a different time.
