For example, for an MX10008 with eight MX10K-LC2101 line cards, the maximum power consumption
@400 Gigabit Ethernet mode is:
= 8* 1425 W= 11400 W
3. Add the power consumption from Step
To continue from the previous example, add the wattage from eight cards to a redundant configuration.
(11400 W) + (2650 W)
= 14050 W required
Calculating the Number of Power Supplies Required for Your MX10008 Configuration
Use this procedure to calculate the number of power supplies required by your router configuration. The
minimum power configuration for MX10008 routers is three power supplies.
To calculate the number of power supplies required for your minimum router configuration:
1. Determine the power available from the power supplies.
