Module power consumption and system power consumption
Card power consumption
The power consumption of the card depends on the card state.
lists the power consumption for
the LSV1QGS12SA1.
•
Static power consumption
—Power consumed by the card when the card is running but all ports on
the card are down and no transceiver modules are installed on the fiber ports of the card.
•
Dynamic power consumption
—Power consumed by the card when the card is fully configured and
sends broadcasts at wire speed.

Fan tray power consumption
The switch uses fans with the automatic speed adjustment function. The fan speed is automatically
adjusted based on the heat dissipation condition of the switch. The power consumed by a fan tray
depends on the fan speed.

Maximum power consumption
HP 7904 fan tray
18 W (40% speed)
130 W(100% speed)
System power consumption
The system power consumption of the switch depends on the type and number of the cards and fan trays.
•
Minimum system power consumption
—Static power consumption of all cards + Minimum power
consumption of all fan trays.
For example, for an HP 7904 switch that has four LSV1QGS12SA1 LPUs and two fan trays, the
minimum system power consumption is: 4 × 160 + 2 × 18 = 676 W.
•
Maximum system power consumption
—Dynamic power consumption of all cards + Maximum
power consumption of all fan trays.
For example, for an HP 7904 switch that has four LSV1QGS12SA1 LPUs and two fan trays, the
maximum system power consumption is: 4 × 230 + 2 × 130 = 1180 W.
Heat dissipation
Heat dissipation is measured in BTU/h, and 1 W equals 3.4121 BTU/h.
The heat dissipation of a switch depends on its power consumption. To calculate heat dissipation of the
switch, assume 90% power consumption is converted to heat, and the efficiency of the power supply is
90%. Heat dissipation/hour of the switch is 0.9 × (total power consumption of the cards plus power
consumption of the fan tray)/0.9 × 3.4121.
