Hardware and Installation Manual
The E5-APP-B card must be provisioned and its power consumption specified when the card is
installed in any slot in the 1100 through 6300 shelves so that its power consumption may be included
with the EAGLE Power Calculations.
Other EAGLE cards can be used in shelves connected to the IMT bus.
EAGLE shelf positions 6200 and 6300 do not connect to the IMT bus (existing EAGLE shelf limit
on IMT bus remains 16).
E5-APP-B Power Guidelines
When installing an E5-APP-B card in an EAGLE shelf, the following power guidelines apply:
Dual 60 A power feeds are recommended for all frames that host B series cards. EAGLE frames that
host B series cards may require dual 60 Amp power feeds, depending on frame configuration.
Frames equipped with 30 A power feeds/FAP can support one shelf with a fan assembly but an
upgrade to 60A power feeds/FAP is recommended.
Frames equipped with 40 A power feeds/FAP can support two shelves with fan assemblies, but
an upgrade to 60A power feeds/FAP is recommended.
For non-standard frame configurations, use the Power Calculator Tool (SS005963) to determine if
adequate power feeds exist at the customer site. For more information on Obtaining the EAGLE
Power Calculator, see the following section.
