Power Requirements for an MX480 Router
The following tables list the MX480 component power requirements. Table 1 lists the MX480 base system power requirement. Table 2 lists the FRU power requirements for Switch Control Boards (SCBs), Routing Engines, Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs), Modular Interface Cards (MICs), and Dense Port Concentrators (DPCs). In addition, Table 2 lists the MPC power requirements with MICs and optics at various operating temperatures.
Table 1: MX480 Router Common Component Power Requirements
Component | Power Requirement (Watts) |
|---|---|
Base system | 40 W |
Normal-capacity cooling system | 220 W |
High-capacity cooling system | 320 W |
 | Note: The power for the cooling system comes from a different tap on the power supply, reserved for the cooling system only. The cooling system power requirement does not need to be deducted from the output power budget of the power supply. |
