The information in this topic helps you determine which power supplies are suitable for
various configurations, as well as which power supplies are not suitable because output
power is exceeded. You determine suitability by subtracting the total power draw from
the maximum output of the power supplies. Afterward, the required input power is
calculated. Finally, you calculate the thermal output. A sample configuration is provided
in Table 72 on page 138.
We recommend that you provision power according to the maximum input current listed
in the power supply electrical specifications (see
