Calculating Power Requirements for the SRX5800 Firewall

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 current is calculated. Finally, you calculate the thermal output.

We recommend that you provision power according to the maximum input current listed in the power supply electrical specifications (see SRX5800 Firewall AC Power Supply Specifications and SRX5800 Firewall DC Power Supply Specifications).

Use the following procedures to calculate the power requirement:

1. Calculate the power requirement.

2. Evaluate the power budget.

3. Calculate input power.

4. Calculate thermal output (BTUs) for cooling requirements.

The SRX5800 Firewall chassis with normal-capacity AC power supplies has one overall zone. The SRX5800 Firewall Chassis with high-capacity AC power supplies or either standard- or high-capacity DC power supplies is zoned. Zoning means that certain components are powered by specific power supplies (see Table 1 and Figure 1 for information on zoning). When calculating power requirements, be sure that there is adequate power for each zone.

Three AC power supplies are mandatory for a SRX5800 Firewall chassis with normal-capacity AC power supplies.

Sample configuration for SRX5800 Firewall chassis with SRX5K-SCB (SCB1) and SRX5K-RE-13-20 (RE1) or with SRX5K-SCBE (SCB2) and SRX5K-RE-1800X4 (RE2):

• Four high-capacity AC power supplies (using two feeds for each power supply); two supplies are active, two are redundant.

• Two Switch Control Boards (SCBs) with Routing Engines.

• Two SRX5K-MPC (IOC2) Modular Port Concentrator, with two Modular Interface Cards (MICs).

• SRX5K-SPC-4-15-320 (SPC2) Services Processing Cards

  Note:

  You must have high-capacity power system (either AC or DC power supplies) and high-capacity cooling system (upper and bottom fan trays) installed in the firewall in order to install and use SPC2. If you do not have high-capacity power supplies and fan trays installed, the firewall will log an alarm condition when it recognizes the SPC.

• High-capacity cooling system (upper and bottom fan trays).

1. Calculate the power requirements (usage) as shown in Table 2.

2. Evaluate the power budget, including the budget for each zone, if applicable. In this step, we check the required power against the maximum output power of available power supply options.

   Table 3 lists the power supplies, their maximum output power, and unused power (or a power deficit).

   Table 3: Calculating Power Budget for SRX5800 Firewall with SRX5K-SCB (SCB1) and SRX5K-RE-13-20 (RE1) or with SRX5K-SCBE (SCB2) and SRX5K-RE-1800X4 (RE2)

   Power Supply	Maximum Output Power of Power Supply	Maximum Output Power for System	Zone 0 Unused Power1	Zone 1 Unused Power2
   SRX5800 AC high-capacity	4100 W (two feeds)	8200 W (two feeds)	4100-4080=20 W	4100-4080=20 W
   SRX5800 DC high-capacity	4100 W (two feeds)	8200 W (two feeds)	4100-4080=20 W	4100-4080=20 W

   ¹ For this configuration, output power is 4080 W.

   ² For this configuration, output power is 4080 W.

3. Calculate input power. In this step, the input power requirements for the example configuration are calculated. To do this, divide the total output requirement by the efficiency of the power supply as shown in Table 4 .

   Table 4: Calculating Input Power for SRX5800 Firewall with SRX5K-SCB (SCB1) and SRX5K-RE-13-20 (RE1) or with SRX5K-SCBE (SCB2) and SRX5K-RE-1800X4 (RE2)

   Power Supply	Power Supply Efficiency1	Input Power Requirement
   SRX5800 AC high-capacity	~88 %	Zone 0: 4080/0.88= 4636 W
   		Zone 1: 4080/0.88= 4636 W
   SRX5800 DC high-capacity	86 %	Zone 0: 4080/0.86= 4744 W
   		Zone 1: 4080/0.86= 4744 W

   ¹ These values are at full load and nominal voltage.

4. Calculate thermal output (BTUs) for the system. To calculate this value, add the total input power requirement (in watts) for the two zones together and multiply the sum by 3.41 as shown in Table 5.

   Table 5: Calculating Thermal Output for SRX5800 Firewall with SRX5K-SCB (SCB1) and SRX5K-RE-13-20 (RE1) or with SRX5K-SCBE (SCB2) and SRX5K-RE-1800X4 (RE2)

   Power Supply	Thermal Output (BTUs per hour)
   SRX5800 AC high-capacity	(4636 + 4636) * 3.41 = 31,617 BTU/hr
   SRX5800 DC high-capacity	(4744 + 4744) * 3.41 = 32,354 BTU/hr

• Two IOC3s (SRX5K-MPC3-40G10G and SRX5K-MPC3-100G10G) Modular Port Concentrator.

• SPC2 Services Processing Card

  Note:

  You must have high-capacity power supplies (either AC or DC) and high-capacity fan trays installed in the firewall in order to install and use SPC2. If you do not have high-capacity power supplies and fan trays installed, the firewall will log an alarm condition when it recognizes the SPC.

• High-capacity cooling system (upper and bottom fan trays).

2. Evaluate the power budget, including the budget for each zone, if applicable. In this step, we check the required power against the maximum output power of available power supply options.

   Table 7 lists the power supplies, their maximum output power, and unused power (or a power deficit).

   Table 7: Calculating Power Budget for SRX5800 Firewall with SCB3, IOC3,and RE2

   SRX5800 DC high-capacity	4100 W (two feeds)	8200 W (two feeds)	4100-3567=533 W	4100-3567=533 W

   ¹ For this configuration, output power is 3567 W.

   ² For this configuration, output power is 3567 W.

3. Calculate input power. In this step, the input power requirements for the example configuration are calculated. To do this, divide the total output requirement by the efficiency of the power supply as shown in Table 8.

   Note:

   Normal-capacity AC and DC power supplies are not included in the following table, because their power budget was exceeded in the sample configuration.

   Table 8: Calculating Input Power for SRX5800 Firewall with SCB3, IOC3, and RE2

   Power Supply	Power Supply Efficiency1	Input Power Requirement
   SRX5800 AC high-capacity	~88 %	Zone 0: 3567/0.88= 4053 W
