NOTE: The calculations in this topic represent the maximum power requirements that you need
to budget for your MX10004 router configuration. The power consumption of your router will be
less than the calculated results shown here. Power consumption will vary based on the hardware
and software configuration of your router, the amount of traffic passing through the line cards,
and environmental variables such as room temperature.
Before you begin these calculations:
• Ensure that you understand the different router configurations. See
Configurations" on page
• Ensure that you know the power requirements of different router components. See
Requirements for MX10004 Components" on page
How to Calculate the Power Consumption of Your MX10004 Router Configuration
Use the following procedure to determine the maximum power you need to supply to the router. To
calculate maximum system power consumption, you first determine the combined maximum internal
power requirements of all the router components and then divide this result by the power supply output
power.

To calculate maximum system power consumption:
1. Determine the maximum power consumption of the base chassis components (that is, the
components other than the line cards). Use
either the standard base or the redundant configuration.
