Power Specifications of AC or DC PSMs

Table 2 shows how much power is available with AC and DC power supplies. The ACX7509 DC power supply module (PSM) can operate with an input current of 80 A or 60 A. You select the input rating by moving the DC input current selector (DIP switch) to the desired setting.

Power Requirement Calculation for an ACX7509-BASE Router

The following sample configuration shows the power requirement of a fully loaded ACX7509-BASE router.

  • One Routing and Control Board (RCB)

  • One Forwarding Engine Board (FEB)

  • Eight Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPCs), as follows:

    • Six ACX-FPC-20Y

    • One ACX-FPC-16C

    • One ACX-FPC-4CD

  • Two JNP5700-FAN fan trays

  • Two JNP-3000W-AC-AFO or JNP-3000W-DC-AFO power supplies

The preceding sample configuration uses generalized values.

System Thermal Output Calculation

After you have calculated the power consumption for your configuration, you can use that information to determine the system thermal output in Basic Transmission Units (BTUs) per hour. To do so, multiply the power consumption in watts by 3.41.

For example, in Power Requirement Calculation for an ACX7509-BASE Router, we calculated the power consumption for a fully configured ACX7509-BASE chassis running at high activity, with SFP28, QSFP28, QSFP56-DD optics, and AC PSMs, to be 1500 W. Using that information we can calculate the system thermal output for the configuration as follows:
