All electrical/electronic devices use significantly less power in a 'quiescent' state than they do an in 'active' one.
Just think about how long your cellphone battery lasts when it isn't used to make or recieve calls, emails etc, than it does when it is being heavily used.
Same principle for computers and servers - when they are heavily used they consume much more power (up to the maximum the power supply is rated for) than when they are sitting around humming quietly to themselves.
