I am pretty sure it is 160W measured at the AC input. The failure threshold for this metric is set to 679W on a power supply rated at 680W AC input and 500W DC output.
PSU performance deteriorates a lot at low usage ratio and their stock PSU is not particularly brilliant.
This server has the redundant PSU option. According to the R410 spec sheet, it is 80+ Gold, which means it should use about 16W.
