Calculate Power Requirements of an MX10004 Router
IN THIS SECTION
How to Calculate the Power Consumption of Your MX10004 Router Configuration | 90
How to Calculate the Number of Power Supplies Required for Your MX10004 Configuration | 92
Use the information in this topic to calculate power requirements of your MX10004 configuration. You
also need to determine the number of power supplies required for different MX10004 router
configurations.
CAUTION: To ensure adequate power and to avoid triggering an alarm, we recommend
that you maintain
n+1 power supplies in your router at all times. Replace failed power
supplies immediately to prevent unexpected failures.
If a new line card is installed in an operational router, power management does not
power on the line card if the increased power demand exceeds the total available
power, including redundant power. If redundant power is used to power on the line
card, a minor alarm is raised. The minor alarm becomes a major alarm if the condition is
not corrected.
