Table 32 lists the maximum power consumption, in watts, for BigIron RX Series modules.
NOTE
The maximum power consumption table reflects the measured maximum power consumption of
different line card types. The chassis, cooling system, power distribution, as well as the algorithm
used in the system software for determining the power requirements are based on a conservative
requirement of 245W per line card, regardless of the actual mix of line card types in a given chassis.
