You can use the information in Table 27 on page 251 and the M320 Multiservice Edge Router
PIC Guide to calculate power consumption for various hardware configurations, input
current from a different source voltage, and thermal output, as shown in the following
examples for a DC-powered router.
Example of calculating power consumption for minimum configuration:
Base system + 1 FPC + 1 PIC =
9.4 A + 3.3 A + 0.625 A = 13.3 A @ –48 VDC = 638 W DC
Example of calculating power consumption for maximum configuration:
Base system + 1 Host subsystem + 2 redundant DC power supplies + 8 FPCs + 32 PICs
=
9.4 A + 2.1 A + 2(0.8) A + 8(3.3 A) + 32(1.1 A) =
9.4 A + 2.1 A + 1.6 A + 26.4 A + 35.2 A = 74.7 A @ –48 VDC =3,586 W DC
Current requirement adjustment for fans running at full speed (high temperature
environment or cooling component failure):
Calculated system current (X) – Cooling (normal) + Cooling (full speed) =
X A – 2.9 A + 4.0 A =
