Headered Pumps Inputs

Hello,

I am wondering about some of the inputs for the Headered Variable Speed Pump. I have the information for the pumps and am wondering how I should be inputting them into OpenStudio/EnegryPlus.

Say I have the rated flow rate, head, and power consumption of one of the pumps. And the other pump is identical. When I go to input the data into Openstudio/EnergyPlus should I be multiplying the values 2 and inputting that or should I be putting in the value for one of the pumps since they are identical? I guess the thing that is throwing me off is the input number of pumps in bank. I know that is two but are the rest of the inputs related to the sizing of one or both?

Thanks in advance.
